Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes! As a kid I was really into the Titanic movie, and got really into vintage things!

How is social media changing news?

There are many ways! One, is that it's increased the competition for "breaking the news," which is often greeted by an ethical dilemma.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

To be a purveyor of truth, a fighter for transparency, and to be a vessel for people with a story that needs to be heard.

What tools and software do you use to do your job?

Final Cut, Photoshop, Illustrator, AP Stylebook and Wordpress

Who do you wish followed you?

Elon Musk or Leonardo Dicaprio.

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

Yes! I was a columnist and helped out with the design of the paper!

When's the best time to pitch you?

The afternoon!

What's your favorite drink?

I always have about three drinks happening at once: water, coffee and something weirdly healthy like kombucha or charcoal lemonade.
