She majored in Entertainment and Media Studies at the University of Georgia and while in school, started a YouTube channel dedicated to entertainment news, reviews, and analysis (mostly so her friends could get a break from hearing her talk about films & TV). Nothing brings her more joy than giving another person a recommendation that introduces them to their next favorite movie or show.
