Time OUT NEW YORK

I was hired at Time Out New York in January 2024 and within a year, I carved out the position of Culture Editor. As Culture Editor, I oversaw the publication’s culture, nightlife, music, and queer content. Some of the highlights of working at Time Out included a bi-weekly nightlife column, “Out Late.” I also got to direct some of the publication’s monthly digital covers, including one that featured Trisha Paytas and another that payed homage to New York’s Mexican community.

Mic

I was a staff writer for Mic’s lifestyle section from 2021 to 2022. Under the editorial direction of Shante Cosme, Mic was shifting its content to voicey first-person and identity-focused stories. During this time, I wrote lots of stories that examined how culture and identity impact wellbeing.
