Interview
What was your first job as a journalist?
I did several internships in college, but my first full-time job was at USA Today network paper on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
Have you ever used a typewriter?
No, but I have a typewriter pillow.
Why did you become a journalist?
To write the wrongs to right the wrongs and to hold those in power accountable.
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
I started and served as the editor-in-chief of my high school paper. (I don't believe it lasted long beyond my graduation, unfortunately.)
What's the most common misperception about your beat?
That I either love or hate people in city hall. I strive to be objective in my coverage. Sometimes people look good. Sometimes they don't.
