As an undergraduate, I wrote comedy at Cornell from my freshman year onward. I was on the founding team of Cornell's satire newspaper, CU Nooz, and served as its editor in chief my junior and senior years. I also occasionally wrote longer form humor for Cornell's humor newspaper, The Cornell Lunatic
CU Nooz is Cornell University's online Onion-style satire newspaper. I joined the founding staff as their only freshman writer in 2013, and served as Editor-in-Chief for three semesters from 2015-2016. During my tenure as EiC, I grew the site's readership and staff, helped define its voice and tone, and oversaw the creation of a second satire website, CU Noozfeed, a ClickHole-style site satirizing campus buzz/clickbait articles in the style of Buzzfeed and Upworthy. Here are a few of the many articles I wrote over the years:
