About Me
I sold my soul to journalism with my first magazine subscription. I was 12 and the selection was Teen Vogue. At 17, Vanity Fair entered the fold. I stopped sharing People subscriptions with my mom when I went away to college, opting for my own. The love of storytelling, particularly in the digital and magazine space, has never stopped. Alongside this love lives a burning passion for pop culture—from best picture Oscar winners to Bravoleberities.
I am a staff writer for Vanity Fair's Hollywood section with previous bylines in ELLE.com, Bustle, Delish, and more. In May 2019, I graduated from the University of Missouri with a Bachelor's degree in Journalism, an emphasis in Magazine Writing and a minor in Film Studies. I'm committed to sharing my latest entertainment industry musings, reporting on your next favorite streaming series, and always reading other voices. I hope you enjoy mine.
