Interview
What was your first job as a journalist?
Elite Daily
Have you ever used a typewriter?
no
How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?
Through my work email.
Why did you become a journalist?
Because I'm extremely interested in sexual health and sex education.
What's the worst pitch you ever got?
I was once sent a pitch about a "sponge" that supposedly "sucks up and cleans you out" after sex. It was extremely horrid.
Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?
I enjoy reading every publication, but lately have been loving InsideHook - where I also contribute regularly.
What's the most common misperception about your beat?
That everything is always super sexy - when really it's mostly about providing good, accurate information about sexual health and wellness.
