Team Startefacts

Daria is the editor-in-chief of Startefacts, who's been with the team for over 3 years. Enjoys writing a piece or two herself, when she's not too busy wading through fan theories, reviews, op-eds, and news articles.

Daria is forever a Team Iron Man person, a Schitt's Creek quote machine, a proud Hufflepuff with a Slytherin's wit; and her outie loves karaoke, good coffee, and memes. Her movie director pick would be Pedro Almodóvar for being bold, stylish, and unapologetically human. Compromise? Tarantino — because who can resist a foot-tapping, blood-spattered fever dream? Also, every single Pixar movie.
