Music and arts journalism is a passion

I believe in the power and potential of culture writing as a tool of more than documentation, but healing, recognition, and care. Writing about culture is an art form of its own and has a profound place that many people overlook. When we write about art, artists, music, and TV from places of care, justice, and creative curiosity, thinking about driving a conversation, we encourage readers to uncover their own process of meaning making while articulating what resonates with us. At the very least we help people unpack their own thoughts and connections to art, provide context, and help people to come together in conversation and reflection. 

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. Linking contemporary cultural and political moments is an important part of my approach. . 

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, in documentaries such as the forthcoming Lesbian Tide doc, and a guest on NPR  and KPFK.
