Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

I first wrote for my student newspaper ( to meet the then-deputy editor ) and did little satyrical riffs on student politics and campus life

What does it mean to be a journalist?

To be able to communicate with others about something you are really passionate about is great.

What's your favorite social network?

Instagram

Why did you become a journalist?

To share my passion.

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

See previous answer

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

In a kitchen or tasting room

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

Gosh, there are so many and if I read them all I would never get any work done. I like Bon Appetite, Decanter, and Noble Rot magazines.

What's the most common misperception about your beat?

It's easy - food and drink is such a diverse and in-depth subject and everyone is passionate about at least one thing they eat.
