Hey Alma is a online publication focused on Jewishness femininity and feminism. I have written four articles for Hey Alma within the last year, looking at Jewish women who have had an impact on film, tv, and pop cultures. My subjects have ranged from Oscar and Tony award winning actress, comedian, and singer, Judy Holliday, and Doris Wishman, a exploitation filmmaker who's peak was in the late sixties and seventies.

Hi Shelli is an online publication focusing on nostalgia and topics revolving around Queer experiences and Black identity. I wrote an article last year, covering the second season of the Ryan Murphy FX anthology series, Feud: Capote vs the Swans. The article focused on what I expected Feud to be about and teach audiences based reading the book Capote's Women, which what the second season of Feud is based on. This was a real collaborative piece with the editor and chief and founder of Hi Shelli, Shelli Nicole.

After years of being my own social media manager, I became the social media manager for The White Gown, a wedding dress boutique in the heart of Soho in Manhattan. This job has taught me how to translate my style, wit, and creativity, into a world I never expected to enter into to create a gorgeous and romantic social media experiences, while showcasing our gowns. In my time as The White Gown's social media manager, I have raised our following by a thousand. We boosted our engagement by creating original content with our gowns and posting our designer's and past bride's photos and videos in order to promote our store and upcoming trunk shows.

Since 2020, I have built a combined following of almost 26,000 followers on Tik Tok, Instagram, and Letterboxd. My content has focused on film reviews, film history, vintage style, and beauty. I have built relationships with brands that have continued though years like Unique Vintage, Vixen by Micheline Pitt, Besame Cosmetics, Dafna Beauty, and Mischief Made Me. I have balanced multiple platforms and been able to use my platform to express my love for cinema and teach my follows about movies they should see and the history of film and Hollywood.
