She is interested in sharp cultural criticism, the films of Charlie Kaufman, and cyberfeminism. Her words have been published in Little White Lies, Polyesterzine, Film Daze, and dadanizm. She was selected to participate in the 8th edition of the European Film Criticism workshop. She likes to spend her free time reading novels, trying to pluck up the courage to pitch, and listening to original Broadway cast recordings of Sondheim musicals.
