Interview
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
Not really. I had a friend who was the editor of my high school newspaper, and I'd help her do headlines but that's it.
What story are you most proud of writing or working on?
I don't know if i'm the most proud of this one, but my first radio story was a feature on WNYC Radio about gentrification in bed stuy.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
It's a difficult field. Try not to get discouraged.
When's the best time to pitch you?
As soon as possible. Don't waste any time if you have something good.
What's the worst pitch you ever got?
This guy keeps emailing me over and over about "timercaps." Often sending the same email multiple times a day. I wish he would stop.
What's your favorite drink?
I usually go for either beer, gin and tonic, or hard cider.
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
Probably eating somewhere. Likely my kitchen.
