Have you ever used a typewriter?
No, I’ve never used a typewriter.I’d love to try it out though—there’s something unique about the process that seems intriguing
How is social media changing news?
Social media changed everything. News isn’t just top-down anymore — it moves fast, it’s messy, and anyone can break a story. That’s powerful, but also chaotic. The pressure to be first can kill depth. But at the same time, it’s made news more accessible, more global, and way more interactive. It forces journalists to adapt, stay sharp, and be transparent
What does it mean to be a journalist?
To me, being a journalist means telling stories that matter — whether it's a title win, a comeback, or someone breaking barriers. It's about digging, asking, watching closely, and then putting it into words that hit. It means giving people something real to connect with — something that moves them, informs them, or just makes them stop and think for a second
What tools and software do you use to do your job?
I keep it simple:Google Docs and Notion for organizing thoughts, Canva when I need visuals, and my iPhone voice recorder app when I’m out chasing stories. I use Slack or WhatsApp to stay in the loop with editors and collaborators
Who do you wish followed you?
Honestly, anyone who’s passionate about sports and enjoys the stories I share is the kind of follower I appreciate the most
Why did you become a journalist?
I’ve loved sports since I was a kid. My dad used to take me to the stadium with him, and I also swam competitively for 10 years, so it’s always been a big part of my life. Whenever I’m feeling low, watching sports lifts me up — and when I’m already doing great, good sports just make it better. Writing about it kind of became the obvious thing to do.
What story are you most proud of writing or working on?
I'm most proud of covering success stories of women in sports, particularly a piece I wrote on a trailblazing woman in NASCAR and another on a rising star in tennis. Both stories were so inspiring to write, highlighting the dedication, talent, and barriers broken by these athletes. It was incredible to share their journeys with readers, and I feel like it brought an important spotlight to the women making waves in sports that are often dominated by men.
When's the best time to pitch you?
I’m pretty flexible — just don’t hit me up at 3 a.m. I check pitches regularly, so if it’s smart, relevant, and has a hook, I’ll read it
What's the best pitch you ever got?
The best pitch I ever got was about where the top five WWE stars might go after being fired. It was a challenge but I loved it because I had to dig deep, research thoroughly, and analyze different angles. It was a piece that really pushed my skills, and the final result was really good and something I felt proud of
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
I’m most likely out catching a live sports event maybe going to a good music concert or hanging with friends. I enjoy some downtime, whether it’s unwinding with a good movie or trying out new food spots.
What's the most common misperception about your beat?
That it’s all fluff or just entertainment. People forget how much strategy, emotion, and even business is behind sports — whether it’s WWE, football, F1, or NASCAR. But more than that, sports can genuinely change lives. They give people purpose, bring communities together, and offer moments of joy or escape when they’re needed most. It’s way more than just a game.
