Reporter for The U.S. Sun
The United States-based publication of The Sun out of the United Kingdom. As a reporter I've covered breaking stories in crime, money, entertainment, lifestyle, technology, and more. Our articles are time-sensitive and work is completed in a fast-paced newsroom environment. I work with various teams daily to write and produce content that is informative and accessible to The U.S. Sun readership.
Former Movie/TV News Writer for
A well-known digital publication that focuses on "endless entertainment" news reporting on the latest in movies, television, comics, gaming, etc. I was previously a freelancer for the movie and television news section, writing around four articles per day covering various topics in the industry. Much of the content is time-sensitive and of the highest priority, so the writers and editors often have to get articles out at an efficient pace.
We were created to live passionately—all of us, no matter our personality type or circumstance. The human heart was made to swell and jump and stir; thats a fact. It took me a while to figure out what makes my heart feel that way. But that is perhaps one of the most crucial things to know about ourselves.
