Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

No, but I want to!

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Email pitches work best for me, ideally from someone who has taken the time to read my work or look at my portfolio.

What tools and software do you use to do your job?

I mostly use Microsoft Word for writing, Excel for organizing, and Adobe for editing layouts.

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

No, but I worked for my high school yearbook as co-editor. I even went to "yearbook camp."

What's the most common misperception about your beat?

I cover travel a lot, and the most common misperception is that it's just about free trips when there is so much more to it than that.
