Intern at Creative Loafing Tampa covering music, politics and art. Fun fact: Brian Reed (S-Town) started in the same position.

Pitch to me whenever you get the inkling that I'm the right person for your story.

What's the worst pitch you ever got?

An 1,800-word, in-depth travel article for teaching in Korea ... unpaid.
