Summary
In 2008, I began my career in public relations for theatre, including a stint at the world-famous Public Theater. After a few years, I transitioned to a reporter position for Broadway.com, and in 2013, I launched editorial for its sister site, BroadwayBox.com. During my tenure, I was content creator, editor, social media manager, video producer, and on-camera talent. Under my leadership, BroadwayBox became the fourth highest-rated website by Broadway users, according to a report from The Broadway League.
