Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

I worked at CBS News in London as a digital intern and as a freelance writer for Everything Theatre, also in London.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes I have. But not in any professional capacity. We had one when I was growing up!

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Emailed pitches work fine, but I want them to be tailored to the podcasts I produced. No random pitches please.

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

Adobe Cloud, particularly Audition.

What's your favorite social network?

Instagram

Why did you become a journalist?

It seemed like a better choice than film school and then I fell in love with the craft, particularly audio storytelling.

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

No

What's your favorite drink?

Irish tea or La Croix.

When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?

On the couch watching K-dramas and crocheting.
