Interview
What does it mean to be a journalist?
It means to me being a translator of experience of sorts. When we're put in a position of understanding each other, we can truly empathize
Why did you become a journalist?
Because I believe in the power of storytelling to cause change, whether that change occurs in one person's heart, or across an entire system.
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
Yes, I started as a reporter then became Editor-in-Chief
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
Don't be afraid to pursue the stories you care about even if it's not technically your beat.
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
Outside
