I'm an experienced journalist with multiple bylines, primarily reporting local news in Philadelphia and popular culture media, including video games, film, and television. I've interviewed subject matter experts and conducted field reporting for original stories, all of which are well-researched and written with close attention to detail.

As a reporter for PhillyVoice, I covered local politics, news, and events in the Greater Philadelphia region. My main beats included the city's public transit, universities, LGBTQ+ community, and niche subcommunities. I also reported on local businesses, food and drink establishments, and city politics. I was first to report on a political controversy at a popular Philadelphia gay bar, and I was also at the scene when a pro-Palestine encampment at the University of Pennsylvania was dismantled.

As a pop culture reporter, I attended several conventions and industry events, including E3 2019, PAX East, PAX Unplugged, New York Comic-Con, and GDC. I've also covered several media events, previewed popular video games pre-release, and received advanced screenings for TV episodes to review.
