The puzzle of proving you're a person
Proving your humanity is getting harder as AI takes over.
I've covered pop culture news for over a decade, including 10 years writing breaking news, high-profile reviews, and thoughtful/interesting features at The AV Club. My work has also appeared on Primetimer and IGN, and I have experience wtih SEO, various content management systems, and tight deadlines.
I have also contributed to the massively successful The Hustle daily newsletter, writing tech startup news in a fun/informative way for its millions of readers. I'm also a published poet and short story writer, if that's interesting to you, and I canonically exist in The CW's Arrowverse universe of superhero shows.
