Experience

Flashlight under her chin, Michelle McGahan was first inspired to become a writer by reading "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" and every "Goosebumps" book in the series. She later turned this passion for writing — and her insatiable appetite for everything pop culture — into a career. (Paid to consume all of her favorite things? Jackpot.) Beginning in 2012 as an editorial intern at TWIST magazine, Michelle has gone on to work as an Associate Editor at PopCrush, and later, as the Editor of iHeartRadio's Snapchat Discover channel (where she would fly out to cover events like the iHeartRadio Music Awards and the iHeartRadio Music Festival). In addition to her current role as an editor at Nicki Swift, Michelle has also written for Bustle, POPSUGAR, Redbook, and more.

Education

Michelle has a Bachelor's degree in Sociology from Drew University. Her sociological background gives her significant insight into celebrity culture, fandom, and greater social issues. She received her informal education in entertainment via her lifelong stanning and following her favorite bands on tour.
