As of 2025, I am working as a researcher for YouTuber Izzyzzz (1.06 million subscribers), who covers weird stories from around the web. Their videos provide a window into the world of internet culture, whether it's a viral failed event or ball, a nostalgic Flash game, or a bizarre TikTok conspiracy. 

Izzy allowed me to fully go rogue with this insane idea that I pitched to them after being unable to escape it on my FYP. Did Peppa Pig's mother, Mummy Pig, get pregnant as a political stunt to get birth rates up across the UK? Probably not, but it was much weirder than we anticipated...

I researched this video on A Million Lives festival disaster — the latest in a string of viral events that failed due to mismarketing and poor planning. Think Fyre Festival, DashCon, and 'Willy's Chocolate Experience' but for the BookTok community.

I have also worked as a researcher & writer for YouTube detective Nexpo, who has an audience of 3.74M subscribers. Nexpo is a pioneer in the internet horror genre, having influenced hundreds of imitators on YouTube. He blends together true crime, analog horror and internet mysteries to create cinematic documentaries that are as immersive as they are investigative. 

I researched this documentary on the SOS Incident in Japan, 1989 — a mysterious missing persons case that had taken the Japanese internet by storm. Working on this video was fascinating (if challenging) because it required me to access and translate a bunch of sources from the original Japanese, including news footage, 2chan threads, and newspapers.

I recently discovered someone made a video game inspired by this project and the real events it depicts. The demo is here.

I worked as a researcher and writer on this entry in Nexpo's now legendary 'Darkest Lost Media' series. The series investigates media unavailable to the public due to its harmful or disturbing content, including lost footage of Mexia Supermarket and the Timothy Treadwell tapes. The Treadwell case in particular was a fave (for what it's worth, I think the YT audio is real. Nexpo disagrees.)

I helped to research and write this documentary on Smartschoolboy9, which, alongside Nick Crowley's video, broke the internet in the latter half of 2024. We were among the first to discover & thread together these disturbing Instagram accounts, leading to many of them getting banned, and also calling into question Instagram's moderation and policies.
