I’m a writer and producer with a print journalism and television background. My current project is a six-part documentary podcast, Blow-Up: When Liz Tilberis Transformed Bazaar, recently released on all platforms. I reported, wrote, edited, produced, and co-hosted the series, which tells the story of one of modern fashion’s greatest characters—and Anna Wintour’s only real rival to this day. Blow-Up has been featured in People, InStyle, Forbes, Puck’s Line Sheet, on EXTRA TV, and the podcasts Fashion People and Under the Cover. • I co-created and exec-produced the animated series The Mighty B! for Nickelodeon. It was recently included in a list of the top ten animated TV shows that got only two seasons. • I’m the author of American Scream: The Bill Hicks Story (HarperCollins), which is in its eighth UK printing, with an audiobook to be released in 2025. • In addition to creating and selling original content, I have years of experience reporting, writing, editing, and proofing dynamic copy for podcasts, social media, magazines, books, and TV series, including scripts, show bibles, and pitches. Early in my career, I was an editor at Time Out NY, a contributing editor at Cosmopolitan and Glamour, and a freelance writer for Rolling Stone, Texas Monthly, Harper’s Bazaar, Interview, and Paper. • I thrive in a collaborative setting and most enjoy helping to shape and produce a concept or story, whether for podcast, screen, or print.
