Summary

I have been an entertainment journalist and content creator for thirteen years. I have a passion for entertainment media with a focus on music, sports and politics in addition to an unending desire to be knowledgeable and well-informed about the culture via personal research and professional relationships. My work at Bossip has helped bring a level of notoriety and prestige to the site by writing consistently viral headlines and leveraging that popularity with my high-profile contacts. My work has been featured in the New York Times, Fader, Wired, BET, VH1, WETv, Netflix (Dear White People), podcasts and numerous radio stations across the U.S. My experience in these arenas has prepared me for greater challenges on bigger platforms.
