Interview
What was your first job as a journalist?
I was a freelance reporter for my local newspaper, the Cordele Dispatch, during high school.
Have you ever used a typewriter?
Yes. It was an electric one I was given as a gift when I was a kid. It doesn't work anymore unfortunately.
What tools and software do you use to do your job?
I use QGIS, Microsoft Excel, Google Fusion Tables, Notepad ++ and code (Javascript, HTML, CSS) on a daily basis when creating graphics.
What story are you most proud of writing or working on?
I'm most proud of the work I did along with the staff of The Denver Post when we covered the Aurora theater shooting.
