Following this, she served as editor for the online video platform Nowness, and has also contributed to a number of international arts publications, including Texte zur Kunst, Dazed, Interview, and Pin-Up. Some of her additional writing includes pieces on architecture in Atlanta in Art in America and criticism for Artforum.
Her curatorial projects include the 2016 Atlanta Biennial, curated alongside Daniel Fuller, Aaron Levi Garvey, and Gia Hamilton.
