The Hollywood Reporter

As The Hollywood Reporter‘s first in-house e-commerce editor, I led shopping content revenue growth to a total of 900% during my tenure, achieving average YoY growth of 126% and resulting in revenue exceeding seven figures. I also led content strategy, managed in-house and freelance writers, and spearheaded new licensing franchises (including Red Carpet Essentials Awards and THR Travel Awards: Best of Hotels of SoCal) to bring in new revenue streams of more than five figures per list.

At THR, I’ve interviewed countless celebrities and insiders across Hollywood, music, sports and beyond. A few of them include Charlize Theron, Bruno Mars, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, director Lesli Linka Glatter, The Last of Us showrunner Craig Mazin, The White Lotus executive producer David Bernad, Clueless costume designer Mona May, Oscar-winning Pixar animator Pete Docter, the late Val Kilmer, Matt Damon, Walton Goggins, Jennifer Lopez, Adam Scott, Kate McKinnon, John Legend, Seth Rogen, Gwen Stefani, Nicholas Galitzine, John Boyega, Annie Lennox, Alicia Silverstone, stylist Warren Alfie Baker, Katy Perry, and many others.

In addition to leading THR’s e-commerce strategy, I managed a team of in-house writers and freelance contributors while writing up to 20 stories weekly on fashion, tech, beauty, wellness, travel, lifestyle, and streaming. I previously contributed to THR as a freelancer, covering style, retail news, lifestyle, and events. See my latest clips here and a selection of my work below.
