I am a senior news assistant on the Culture desk at The New York Times. I write a weekly TV column and contribute to award show coverage and other culture reporting.
What I Cover
Every Monday my “What’s on TV This Week” column outlines notable new or returning shows airing on cable, as well as a selection of movies and specials. I also sometimes contribute to other areas of coverage, including film, television and pop music.
My Background
I grew up in upstate New York and had my first byline in my local small town newspaper at 14. After getting a political studies degree in Canada — I am a dual American-Canadian citizen — I moved to New York City and got my first journalism job as an editing fellow at an online publication. I took a quick detour into politics, serving as a political communications director, before finding my way back to journalism at The Times.
Journalistic Ethics
All Times journalists are committed to upholding the standards of integrity outlined in our Ethical Journalism Handbook.
