Read Full Bio →

Hi! I'm Josh, an emerging email marketer and copywriter, as well as an established freelance entertainment journalist.

I've interviewed celebrities and comedy groups, both world-renowned and local, I've covered cinema both mainstream and niche, I've dabbled in comedy and I've also written deep-dive film analysis.

I've improved my volunteer organization's open rate from the mid-teens to the mid-30s, and driven high ROIs on focused campaigns.
