Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes, to fill out college applications.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Singing telegram

What's your favorite social network?

For professional stuff, Linkedin. For personal stuff, Facebook.

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

Yep! Staff photographer for The Eagle newspaper and Aquin yearbook at St. Thomas High School in Houston. My senior year, I got to do a phone interview with Lance Bass and Joey Fatone along with a bunch of other high school journalists. They did the call to promote their bromantic comedy, "On the Line," but I asked them about how their music careers had evolved after NSYNC's highly publicized legal fight with Lou Pearlman.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Data is your best friend.
