What does it mean to be a journalist?

It’s a huge responsibility — you can’t afford to get it wrong. At the end of the day, you have to get the story right. You never know what’s coming next. It’s long hours, last-minute flights, and often exhausting. But it’s also unpredictable, intense, and deeply human.

Who do you wish followed you?

Tom Cruise, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump.

Why did you become a journalist?

I’ve always been deeply interested in what’s happening in the world — not just the headlines, but the stories behind them. I’m driven by a passion for human stories, especially those that might otherwise go unheard. Giving a voice to people who don’t have one, shedding light on injustice, and telling stories that matter — that’s what motivates me. I also love the adrenaline of the job: being in the middle of big moments, piecing things together quickly and accurately, and giving my audience the clearest, most reliable information possible. For me, journalism is both a responsibility and a thrill — and I wouldn’t want to do anything else.
