Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

I worked as a reporter on the general beat in the newsroom of the Calgary Herald in Alberta, Canada.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Only for a photoshoot :)

When's the best time to pitch you?

Any time, but ideally as far ahead as possible.

What's your favorite drink?

In summer, it’s a tie between a mojito with fresh mint and white sangria with lots of fruit bits in it. In winter - cappuccino, hands down!
