Interview
What does it mean to be a journalist?
To be fair and objective. In most news stories, journalists are there to report the facts, not interject their opinions.
Why did you become a journalist?
I became a journalist to put my life and culinary travels on paper. I love sharing stories about cultures and how food is the great unifier.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
Stick with it. There are bumps in the road but as long as you have thick skin, you will make it through.
What's the best pitch you ever got?
The best pitch I received was to write a historical travel piece on an old hotel. That trip broke me into travel journalism.
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
My hammock.
