A Life of Pop Culture
To be The Dispatch’s entertainment and things-to-do editor means to be immersed in pop culture. From music and movies to travel and books, I have interest in it all. I am a metalhead and a Swiftie. I rave when the beat drops and I’ll go head-to-head with anyone over classic-rock trivia. I am the stereotypical millennial full of angst when My Chemical Romance comes on my speakers, and If you don’t believe me, take a ride in the car with me to have your own personal concert — you choose the genre. “Ugh! As if!” and “So fetch!” have a chokehold on me as someone who grew up in the late ’90s and 2000s.
