About Me
I'm a culture and technology journalist focusing on covering rock music and internet culture. I was previously a staff writer for The Verge and I've written for Billboard, Vice, Stereogum, Slate, and Kerrang!, along with other publications. I have recently written about pop-punk's mainstream resurgence and its intersection with TikTok.
I also write fiction. My short story will be published in the upcoming anthology, When Other People Saw Us, They Saw The Dead, out in May 2022. You can find out more about the book here.
