I'm a journalist, editor, and producer based in Los Angeles.
I write about culture, gender, and politics, and I’m particularly interested in subcultures, online fame and fandom, and underground or otherwise misunderstood communities and phenomena.
I like telling the under-reported stories of otherwise ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Like the guy who spent more than a decade campaigning to get Weird Al a star on the Hollywood walk of fame (VICE); or, more recently, about the teenagers who used TikTok and Instagram to literally track down their friend’s killer and bring him to justice (The Cut).
And I especially like reporting big, nuanced stories you might’ve heard about, but that turn out to be totally different — and often, far stranger — than you might’ve expected or remembered.
If you’ve got a good story for me, or want to commission me to look into one, get in touch.
