Criticism: My work as a critic includes essays and reviews on film for publications like Senses of Cinema, Millennium Film Journal, and Cineaste, where I am an assistant editor. Writings on comedy and television have been published in Time and Paste, where I write a weekly column on late night TV. I am a voting member of GALECA.

Scholarship: I am a PhD Candidate in Media Studies at the University of Amsterdam. Through my work on videographic criticism, remix culture, and found footage, I have been invited to lecture, teach, and curate work at institutions throughout the US and Europe. In 2023, I joined the Film Studies Program at UMass Amherst as an Adjunct Instructor. 

History//Journalism: I maintain an active practice as a researcher for historical and journalistic projects. My work with Garrett Graff includes the New York Times bestseller, When the Sea Came Alive: An Oral History of D-Day and UFO, both from Simon & Schuster. I worked as the researcher on the Murrow Award-winning podcast, Long Shadow: Rise of the American Far Right, the fact-checker on an article series and documentary on the crisis of homeless veterans, and the researcher for a forthcoming Penguin Press book on gun violence in America.
