Content Creator & Curator

I have an insatiable thirst for uncovering unusual stories, getting to know the people behind them, and ultimately sharing these stories. I've primarily channeled this into music journalism, which I've been doing for 11 years.

However, it's also led me all over the globe to interview everyone from architecture students in Mexico and Nicaragua (once while hiking on a volcano), to a drug dealer in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, and to Japanese cosplay enthusiasts. My work has appeared on television, the web, and in printed publications.

I've also been blogging since I was 16 years old, and spend way too much time on social media. I love being able to tailor the content I create to each specific platform, and to interact directly with friends and strangers who share common interests. At Applauze, I managed social media accounts with a combined reach of 130k+ fans, and developed the editorial voice for each platform.
