Work History
New York Post Features Reporter
News Corp
New York, NY
05.2021 - Current
- Wrote cover worthy content and engaging spreads on all areas of culture — especially food, entertainment, nightlife, real estate, lifestyle, with a specialty in AI and sports culture coverage. See articles in the "featured" section of LinkedIn page.
- Interviewed high profile individuals like David Cone, Marcus Samuelsson, along with cast and crew of major film & TV shows such as "The Godfather" and "The Sopranos." Traveled twice to Las Vegas for a preview of the Sphere concert venue. I returned for its grand debut and several interviews with the venue's owner, James Dolan.
- Coordinated, produced, and hosted the New York Post's first-ever speaker series on artificial intelligence. I have also covered the breakout of AI into everyday life, including how a terminally ill man designed a program to speak with his family after death.
- Became a driving force in connecting readers with unique, local talkers and compelling stories from the New York area. These include interviewing Rockettes' new and experienced during auditions and finding a Brooklyn man who goes around bars to iron strangers' clothes at no cost. I’ve also found perhaps the city's cheapest and most delicious burger slider priced at $2.55 and an exquisite Italian restaurant that makes only 15 pizzas per week served on Versace plates.
- Unearthed shocking truths of global icons and the inner workings of America's criminal underworld, all by interviewing subjects close to the matter. These anecdotes range from Frank Sinatra nearly getting killed by the mob to the way mafia leaders covertly worked with the Navy to win WWII.
