I'm a Senior Staff Writer based in New York City, where I've been covering classic BuzzFeed-style content since 2020. My niche has evolved over the years, but I mostly write about behind-the-scenes facts, hot movie and TV takes, celebrities and their questionable behavior, people spilling their secrets and wildest life stories, and the best of the internet. You can also find me talking all things movies and TV on our TikTok account @BuzzFeeders. In my spare time, I'm usually sprinting to Broadway shows after buying last-minute tickets, singing songs I made up about my cat, or harboring delusions of writing a novel.
