Music and arts journalism is a passion

I believe in the power and potential of culture writing as an actual tool of healing, recognition, history, & care. Writing about culture has a profound place that I think many people overlook. When we write about art and artists and music and TV from places of care and justice and creative curiosity, thinking about driving a conversation, I think we can do beautiful things. At the very least- we can help people unpack their own thoughts and connections to art, and provide space for people to come together in conversation. 

I got my start as a journalist covering the local musicians, artists, writers, zinesters, and other creatives in my community who inspired me, with an awareness to past and present cultural and political moments, and I treat all of the work I do today in that same style. 

Currently I am a freelance contributor at LA Times, Spin, and LA Mag and I have contributed to Tom Tom Magazine, OC Weekly, LA Weekly, Razorcake, and Get It Together, and have been a  guest on podcasts, NPR  and KPFK.
