Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

Writing a column about neighborhood associations and neighborhood news.

What's your favorite social network?

Instagram.

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

I was involved in just about every other extracurricular activity besides the newspaper. Journalism was a later-in-life calling.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

When you can't think of how to start your story or article, imagine what you'd say to a friend about it on a short phone call.

When's the best time to pitch you?

I'm not picky.

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

In the kitchen with my daughter.

Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?
