About me

I'm a fact-checker, researcher, editor, and writer based in Brooklyn. 

Editorial & Research Work

My primary work concerns working with authors, journalists, and historians on a range of nonfiction projects, including books, articles, podcasts, and films. 

I also work/have worked for think tanks as a researcher and analyst, and maintain an active interest in issues related to domestic extremism, digital platforms, hate speech, and national security.  

I'm actively looking to collaborate on projects as a researcher, fact-checker, or writer.

Writing & Editing

I primarily write reviews, essays, and news pieces on art, media, and culture. In addition to writing a weekly column on late night television for Paste, my writing on film, TV, comedy, and books has appeared in a variety of publications, including Time, the Los Angeles Review of Books, and Cineaste, where I am an assistant editor. 

Scholarship

In addition to my full-time work, I am currently a PhD Candidate (ABD) in Media Studies at the University of Amsterdam. My dissertation holds the working title, Won't Even Describe: 1980s American Experimental Cinema in the Public Sphere. 

Among my research interests is videographic criticism, on which I have lectured, taught, and curated screenings at universities, conferences, and festivals throughout the United States and Europe. My primary vehicle for advancing and studying the form is through The Video Essay Podcast, which I have hosted since 2019.
