Professional/Personal Overview

 

 

 

 

I am a gonzo journalist who ascribes to the New School of Journalism. I write everything from cereal boxes to academic papers. General expertise is in cultural criticism with specific expertise in music and film. My first love is poetry and my reviews are a reflection of this. I am also an expert on the new digital landscape and master of using it for publicity.
