Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

I worked as a journalist for my college's newspaper.

Who do you wish followed you?

Felicia Day :)

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

Yes, produced and edited it

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

The very first in-person interview I ever did with Burnie Burns of Rooster Teeth turned into a great, informative piece for VideoInk

What's the best pitch you ever got?

Any pitch which made it very clear in the headline why it was worth my time (and included a clear, solid release + media assets)

What's the worst pitch you ever got?

The worst pitch I ever got was some email along the lines of "new film"; the body was poorly written, w/ bad grammar, and no media assets!

What's your favorite drink?

A good craft beer

What's the most common misperception about your beat?

That it's not a "real" beat - digital media, maybe, but online video/YouTube only? Is that for real?
