I wrote and edited arts and culture coverage for Mic, the premier news destination for young people. In my work there, I specialized in TV and film, with an emphasis on representation in pop culture. Read some sample clips at the links below.

• “This Is What “Gay Television” Has Become in the Past 15 Years — and How It All Began”
• “‘Falsettos,’ a new Broadway revival, helped me cope with my dad’s death”
• “‘BoJack Horseman’ and ‘Casual’ Depict Mental Health Conditions Honestly and Powerfully”
• “The Depiction of Gay Teens on ‘American Crime’ Is Unprecedented on TV”
• “Here’s Exactly How Much Movies About Women Make at the Box Office Versus Movies About Men”
