About

As the Editor-in-Chief at Alternative Press, I’m passionate the opportunity to run a legacy publication, while championing creativity, diverse voices, showcasing cutting-edge trends in music, culture, and beyond that reflect the landscape today. With covers featuring all from Liam Gallagher to Scowl, Green Day to Yves Tumor, I am dedicated to open up the floor for new definitions of "alternative." With over a decade of experience in editorial leadership, I've honed a deep and instinctive understanding of content strategy, audience engagement, and brand evolution. Before stepping into my current role, I contributed to the growth and vision of Office Magazine and Paper Magazine, where I led editorial teams in producing high-impact, artfully subversive content that resonated with young, contemporary audiences. I’ve worked closely with established and emerging writers, photographers, and designers to create thoughtful, high-impact material that spans art forms. My expertise lies in developing uniquely compelling editorial visions, and curating an idiosyncratic media experience that will inform, excite, and surprise — core qualities of the alternative subcultures the brand is based around. I thrive in fast-paced environments, constantly finding new ways to push the boundaries of digital and print media and connect with readers in new and meaningful ways. If you’re passionate about the intersection of culture, creativity, and storytelling — or if you had an AP poster in your teenage bedroom — let’s connect.
