Interview
What was your first job as a journalist?
I was a part-time writer for closeupfilm.com and covered the Jon Stewart Oscars (from home), and even met Ewan MacGregor!
Have you ever used a typewriter?
I learned to type on one in high school. I was shocking at it - small hands... Laptops are infinitely better, but the sound isn't as cool.
What tools and software do you use to do your job?
Lots and lots, including: WordPress, Ahrefs, Tineye, open source WP software, Google Sheets, Wiki, Getty, Fotor, OIE, Insta, TikTok, Twitter
Who do you wish followed you?
So many people! RuPaul, Tina Fey, Michelle Visage, RS Archer, Michelle Obama, Adore Delano, Bianca Del Rio, Claudia Winkleman...
Why did you become a journalist?
One reason: Smash Hits. That's it. I wanted to be Alex Kadis. Funny, smart, sarcastic, I loved it. I actually did my work experience there :)
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
Not so much a newspaper as the yearbook, which my best friend and I initiated, wrote, researched, edited and sold. Yes, we were very cheesy.
