Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

I have used a typewriter before, and I loved it. There's something liberating about analog technology.

Why did you become a journalist?

I became a journalist in order to provide truth in a time where facts are commodities.

What's your favorite drink?

I love a nice homemade lemonade.

Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?

I love reading The Atlantic, particularly for its long-form writing and interest in providing diverse expertise on a variety of subjects.
