… a researcher…
I’m a trained sociologist and apply those skills to both making episodes of Enthusiasts and doing original investigations, like my three-part series on virtual influencers!
I am fascinated while reading and analyzing documents, from academic papers to trial motions and other records related to civil and/or criminal investigations.
If you ever need assistance with research, data entry and/or analysis, editing, or related tasks, please get in touch here!
… and a dreamer!
I aspire to:
Shine a light on how being autistic affects my experiences as a super-fan
Prioritize variety, nuance, and openness in all coverage
Be a comprehensive, go-to source for explainers about K-pop and other elements of pop culture
Please help spread the word about my work!
Thank you for your continued support!
