Interview
What was your first job as a journalist?
When I was 15, I started writing my own football blog on a website called 90min.com.
What does it mean to be a journalist?
I have always taken pride in being able to tell stories and think in this line of work, you have the ability to make a real difference.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
I still have a long way to go in my own career but I think journalism is all about repetition and also networking, as cliché as it may sound.
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
Out at a football game, camera in one hand and my phone in the other. Attempting to take photos while also making detailed notes.
Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?
I try to spread the net as wide as possible and would honestly say it's more a case of following specific journalists, not specific outlets.
