Interview

What does it mean to be a journalist?

Asking difficult questions, exploring important topics, and giving voices to those who aren't usually heard.

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?

Exploring conditions of crunch and accusations of cultural appropriation in a resurrected LEGO Bionicle game for IGN.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Remove the word "aspiring" from your bio. If you're writing, you're a writer.

When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?

In the sea, if possible.
