Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

I would be insufferable with a mechanical keyboard. Who in their right mind would give me access to a typewriter?

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Peter Parker. The constant struggle to pay rent is relatable to most journalists.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Message me on Twitter or shoot me an email. If you've got something sensitive to share, my Signal number is in my bio

What's your favorite social network?

Twitter. I love the format and live-tweeting things as they happen.

Who do you wish followed you?

Beyonce, who else?

Why did you become a journalist?

I'm a big fan of holding powerful people accountable and not a big fan of authority. Probably too much punk music as a teenager.

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

I was the news editor for my high school paper. It's pretty easy to draw a straight line from that to where I am now.

When's the best time to pitch you?

Generally when i have a bat in my hand and step up to the plate.

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

Waiting for my coffee to brew in the break room. I survive largely on black coffee.
