## About

Fanatical and critical about movies and tv. Enthousiastic about web development.

## Career

- **Editor in Chief, Film & TV at Fok!** (2013 - Present)
  From my position as Administrator for FOK! and part time film reviewer for the site, in 2013 I took over the general management of the film and television section. Since then, I have increased my focus on the film & tv-related content on FOK!, writing a selection of the film reviews and coordinating the editorial staff.
  
  As part of my goal to broaden the appeal of the site towards visitors interested in popular culture, I have visited conventions such as Comic-Con International to bring original content from an international perspective to FOK!, interviewing creators of popular shows and movies and reporting about the events themselves.
  
  Since starting to write about film and television on FOK!, with which I started well before 2013, my interest in the subject has increased and I now aim to further professionalize my involvement with film journalism.
