Journalist, writer, critical thinker etc.

I most recently worked at ADWEEK where I covered the intersection of brand marketing and culture and random stuff in between.
Before that, I worked at Billboard where I wrote digital and print hip-hop and R&B features. I also wrote a weekly column highlighting new music by rising artists in those genres. 
I’ve written bios for artists signed to labels like Def Jam and Red Bull Records.

My writing has also appeared in W Magazine, GRAMMY.com, Complex, Vulture, Okayplayer, VICE, Yahoo, and more.
