Interview
What was your first job as a journalist?
Associate Producer at WESH in Orlando, FL
Have you ever used a typewriter?
Yes. That's how I learned to type!
What does it mean to be a journalist?
I believe we have a duty to share stories honestly and objectively.
How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?
Email.
Why did you become a journalist?
I became a journalist because I believe everyone has an interesting story to tell. I love sharing those stories.
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
No, but I did work for the campus TV station as a news show producer.
What story are you most proud of writing or working on?
I am most proud of the years I spent in the newsroom as a TV news producer.
Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?
I am a big fan of Backpacker Magazine. I also read the New York Times each morning. I am guilty of headline scanning.
What's the most common misperception about your beat?
I think there's a misconception that everyone who writes about outdoor living is "crunchy." I'm pretty much the opposite of that!
