About me
I am the entertainment writer at Harper's Bazaar and Town & Country magazines. I primarily cover film and television in the form of long-form features, celebrity interviews and reviews for my column Why You Should Watch. I also attend and cover international film festivals (including Cannes and LFF) and conduct red-carpet interviews at events (most recently Chanel's pre-Baftas party).
