A selection of pieces from throughout my career at theCHIVE and beyond. In addition to writing over 100 reviews for the “It Can’t Be That Bad” column on theCHIVE, I also wrote contemporary film reviews, local film festival coverage, sponsored content for corporate partners, and long-form pieces to promote other departments under the Chive Media Group umbrella. I have also begun to file film reviews at other local publications in Austin, Texas.
