Hi! I’m a culture journalist and author with a career spanning from New York to Sydney. I’ve written in-depth features, hosted panels, and interviewed Oscar winners, reality stars, and everyone in between for The New York Times, The Washington Post, Vice, Vanity Fair, Los Angeles Times, Vulture, The Hollywood Reporter, Bustle, Business Insider, The Guardian, and other outlets.
My nonfiction book, Disney High: The Untold Story of the Rise and Fall of Disney Channel’s Tween Empire, is out now from St. Martin’s Press! The Washington Post’s review called it “a compelling, grown-up workplace dramedy in the last place you’d expect it” with “thorough reportage” that’s “impressive in both its depth and breadth."
Some journalism portfolio highlights: profiles on Katherine Heigl, Rob McElhenney, Jennette McCurdy, Brooke Shields, Daisy Edgar-Jones, and Andrew McCarthy; reported retrospectives on The Rosie O’Donnell Show, Before Sunrise, Little Women, Remember the Titans, Lizzie McGuire, A Knight’s Tale, and While You Were Sleeping; interviews with Tina Fey, Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Cole Sprouse; a look at the shark conservationist and filmmaker who captured Jaws then fought to undo the damage; an investigation into why Hanson faced a mutiny from their own fans; a peek at the making of Encanto’s biggest hit; and an oral history of Tom Holland’s viral “Umbrella” Lip Sync Battle performance.
