I'm a features writer at New York Magazine with a focus on the business of culture, covering film, television, theater, and more. Previously, I was a culture editor at The New Yorker. I've profiled directors like Halina Reijn (Babygirl) and Curry Barker (Obsession) and reported extensively on the entertainment industry, from the toy company Mattel's entry into Hollywood with Barbie to the making of HBO's The Last of Us and the transformation of A24.
I've also appeared on podcasts including The New Yorker's Critics at Large, Vox's Today, Explained, Slate's What Next, and WNYC's On the Media.
