Hip-Hop Editor

Mar 2017 - Present
As Hip-Hop Editor at Uproxx.com, I have guided the editorial coverage of upcoming and trending hip-hop artists, news, and culture. This has included writing and editing artist profiles and interviews, writing and editing op-ed features and analysis of current events and culture, and dictating the tone, direction, and scope of Uproxx's coverage of hip-hop overall. In addition, I have been the on-camera host for sponsored content, conducting interviews, guided tours of hip-hop hot spots in various cities, and interacting with followers via Uproxx social media, including Instagram and Twitter.

Editor

May 2015 - Present
As Editor of DrewLeague.com, the official website of the Drew League, I have created weekly game recaps, interviewed players, coaches, staff, and fans, and developed features about the history and culture of the Drew and its contributors. In order to provide eye-catching details for in-depth features, I have also researched player profiles on basketball resource sites such as: RealGM.com, LatinBasket.com, ESPN.com, basketball-reference.com, and MaxPreps.com. I have cultivated relationships with players and staff to facilitate communication and to provide insight that would not otherwise be available to the casual observer. Show less
