Articles

As a journalist I’ve written for a variety of print and online publications, with my work primarily covering literature, film, comic books, video games, pop culture and visual arts.

Currently, I am a visual arts reporter for the Ottawa XPress, a DVD reviewer for Urban Male Magazine and a video game reviewer for both RAGMAG and Paste Magazine.
