I am also a PhD Candidate in the School for Cultural Analysis at the University of Amsterdam.

In addition to my scholarship, I also work as a freelance film critic and essayist. My work has appeared in a variety of publications, including Senses of Cinema, Millennium Film Journal, Paste, Film School Rejects, and Cineaste, a magazine for which I serve as an assistant editor. I am a voting member of GALECA, an alumnus of Berlinale Talents, and have a newsletter, Notes on Videographic Criticism.
