Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Nope. I've been growing up in the age where computers, tablets and cellphones are my norm for typing.

How is social media changing news?

Unlike the days of the newspaper, where you would have to wait until the following day to read the news, you can now access news 24/7.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

A journalist works for the public. They keep the public inform by reporting the news and gets them answers when they need them the most.

Who do you wish followed you?

I wish to follow the late Bob Simon. The way he told his stories and how passionate of a journalist he was, it made him a great role model.

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

As a sophomore in high school and I'm currently a general assignment reporter for my school's yearbook, the Pride.

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?

So far my most favorite and most memorable story I've reporter on was a personal profile on a coach for the Special Olympics.
