- 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.
- Her favorite modern filmmakers are Greta Gerwig, Jordan Peele, and Rian Johnson, and she'll buy an opening night ticket for literally anything they make.
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.

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.
