Current job: Creative Director, Entertainment Weekly
3 things you can’t live without: Breakfast tacos, Spotify Premium, and Evie (my dog).
What’s your super power? Writing cover lines.
Album you listen to while creating: Too many to count! (Again, shout-out to Spotify Premium.) 2022's most-played albums were from Spoon, Big Thief, Cate Le Bon, and Beyoncé.
Favorite streaming TV show: In 2022: "The Bear," "Andor," "This Fool," and "Severance." Some all-time faves: "Mad Men," "Halt and Catch Fire," "Better Call Saul," "RuPaul's Drag Race," and "The Venture Bros."
What (or who) inspires you? Albums with zero skippable tracks.
Advice for young creatives? Ask as many questions as you can. You most likely work with people who have already solved some of the same problems you'll encounter, so learn from their experience. Bonus: if you're industrious enough, you may also discover gaps in your organization that could turn into opportunities for someone with your skillset and unique POV.
What’s on your bucket list for 2023? A proper, unplugged vacation.
