I cover arts and culture in greater Philadelphia.

I also write about film.

​I aim to highlight emerging artists, themes, and trends. I seek out work created by women and people who are trans, nonbinary, and queer. I see criticism as creative, and I bring to it reverence for art, passion for words, intellectual curiosity, personal experience with dance and theater, and graduate degrees in the humanities.

 

I have reviewed performances by Martha Graham Dance Company, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, BalletX, Philadelphia Ballet, PHILADANCO!, Rennie Harris Puremovement, Koresh Dance Company, the 7 Fingers, Dorrance Dance, the Wilma Theater, and many more.

​

My film writing draws from film theory and criticism, feminist and critical theory, pop culture studies, and memoir.

​

My work appears in Broad Street Review, MovieJawn, and thINKingDANCE.
