Interview
What was your first job as a journalist?
My first professional job as a journalist was as a freelance SEO reporter with the U.S. Sun.
Have you ever used a typewriter?
No, but I really want to.
Why did you become a journalist?
I want to tell stories and pick apart media; I have also always wanted to give a voice to the voiceless while also informing people.
Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?
I tend to read a lot of Variety, The New Yorker, Forbes, The Hollywood Reporter, and BBC.
