I'm an NYC-based writer and researcher, working at the intersections of media, culture, and political history.
This site functions as a portfolio for two areas of work:
1) my own writing, scholarship, and video work;
2) the projects I have worked on as a professional researcher, fact-checker, and editor for a range of historical and journalistic projects..
As a researcher and fact-checker, I have worked on best-selling books, award-winning podcasts, and investigative, multimedia features.
As a critic, I have published essays and reviews on film, television, comedy, and media in Time, Monochromator, Los Angeles Review of Books, Millennium Film Journal, and Cineaste, where I am an assistant editor. I am currently the late night television columnist at Paste, where I write reviews, essays, and profiles.
As a scholar, I have lectured and curated programs on the video essay throughout the US and Europe, and am currently pursuing a PhD in the School for Cultural Analysis at the University of Amsterdam.
