Experience

Emma knew she wanted to be a TV critic the minute she hit publish on her first post on the "Lost" forums in middle school, and she's never looked back. In 2022, she earned her Master of Arts in cultural reporting and criticism from NYU before joining The A.V. Club's breaking news team. There, she covered TV, film, music, internet culture, and more. Her work has also been published by Collider and Lit Talk by Bond & Grace. In her free time, you can find Emma binging classic sci-fi and horror films (she'll talk your ear off about anything involving time travel), watching the latest Mike Flanagan series, or listening to Hayley Williams, Radiohead, or The National.

Education

Emma earned her bachelor's degree in English from Haverford College. She also holds a master's degree in cultural reporting and criticism from New York University.
