I’m based in Los Angeles, flexibly.

After graduating with a degree in Creative Writing from the University of Southern California and an MA in Publishing from UAL, I worked as a writer and editor for a number of publications including:

Editor at Xeno Futurism

Luna Collective Magazine

As Editor of Xeno Futurism Magazine, I was tasked with editing features, managing our list of writers, and doing research relevant to the magazine’s longterm vision.

I served as the managing editor for Luna Collective Magazine, an up-and-coming music and culture magazine based in Los Angeles. My position varied from general marketing, managing Twitter posts, reaching out to talent for editorial features, reaching out to other magazines/relevant online platforms, stocking in bookstores, editing features, and reviewing music submissions.

Pure Nowhere Magazine

I write articles for Pure Nowhere Magazine pertaining to music, art and Culture. My creative work is also featured in their latest issue.

 

Haute Magazine

I published in-depth features on musical artists for Haute magazine.

Today, I also oversee MANEATER collective’s events, organize community DJ classes for women, and host a bi-weekly mix series.
