Producer & writer specializing in digital media and community management
Whenever I envisioned having a website dedicated to me, I figured it would be a fan site dedicated to how much the general public loves me. Instead, you’ll find a collection of some of the creative works I’m proudest of during my time at MTV. Videos I’ve produced, pieces I’ve written, events I’ve covered. If you are here because you were looking for the aforementioned hypothetical Cheryl Krucas fan site, sorry I stole your ideal web domain!
MTV’s Golden Age
A longform piece about one of the most influential eras of modern music: Women of 2000s Pop Rock. This is my love letter to the artists who shaped my world as a kid, featuring Michelle Branch, Fefe Dobson, and Aly & AJ.
Seeing Sounds
Synesthesia (n.) a neurological condition in which people can “see” music as colors.
This original interview franchise asks musicians with synesthesia to paint their albums, activating a previously untapped layer of an artist’s creative process.
Music To Blank To
In this flagship interview franchise, I ask talent to build me a playlist based on different moods and experiences. Not only does this cover the mindset they were in while filming a specific project, it also gives fans insight into their favorite celebs’ taste in music.
My Life In Soundtracks
My own taste in music was heavily shaped by film and tv soundtracks (shout out Fiona Apple’s “Across the Universe” cover from Pleasantville), so why not interview actors about the iconic musical moments from their own filmographies?
The kitchen sink
From nerdy pop quizzes, to ‘this or that’ style games, to in depth interviews with artists, these are a few of my favorite things.
Pop Quiz with Zendaya and Jacob Batalon
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina x Jersey Shore Quiz with Kiernan Shipka, Ross Lynch, and Gavin Leatherwood
This or That: 80s edition with the cast of Stranger Things
Luck of the Draw with Haley Lu Richardson and Barbie Ferreira
Bangers & Mash, a musical mashup challenge, with Yungblud
Trick or Treat Q&A with Debby Ryan
