- In 2019, Nina spent an entire month covering the end of "Game of Thrones" — and yes, she's still mad about the finale.
- She genuinely believes that "Vanderpump Rules" and "Fleabag" have more in common than people think.

Experience
Nina has worn many hats at Static Media since she first joined the company in 2018, from video projects like "Okay, So Basically" to working on various newsdesks — and she's now happiNina has worn many hats at Static Media since joining the company in 2018, from video projects like "Okay, So Basically" to working on various news desks. She's now happily writing for Looper, /Film, and TVLine. Having worked in the two best cities in the world (Paris and Philadelphia), Nina is still surprised that anyone wants her to share her hot takes on "Game of Thrones" or the Oscars, much less that she gets to do that for a living.
Education
Nina received a bachelor's degree in English literature from the University of Pittsburgh with a minor in theater. In 2021, she earned a master's in creative writing (fiction) from the University of Kent Paris School of Arts & Sciences.
