02HOW I REPORT
I LIKE THE CONVERSATION BEHIND THE PRESS RELEASE.
I'm a Los Angeles based entertainment journalist, editor and producer covering television, film, streaming, actors, creators and culture. As Editor of New Hollywood Magazine, I spend a lot of my time in conversations with the people making the work, from actors and filmmakers to creators and producers.
My background in television production changes the questions I ask. I understand what it takes to build a scene, shape a story, protect a performance and get a production across the finish line. But I never want the reporting to sound like an industry manual. The audience still comes first.
I like interviews that feel like conversations. I prepare deeply, listen closely and follow the interesting answer instead of simply moving to the next question.

04WHAT I BRING
PUT ME WHERE THE STORY IS.
I'm based in Los Angeles and comfortable moving between assignment types. That might mean a twenty minute cast interview in the morning, a screening and quick turn story that afternoon, a set visit, a red carpet, a longer creator profile or a reported feature that needs more time.
I understand deadlines, embargoes, talent access, press environments and the difference between promotional conversation and editorial reporting. I can work from assignment, adapt to an established editorial voice and still bring personality to the finished story.
