Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

I'll always be grateful for my time as a student reporter at The Pitt News.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes. My mom used one in the '90s.

How is social media changing news?

There's a lot more noise. Still, a lot of it is worth hearing.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Via email, please. I will respond.

Who do you wish followed you?

More people!

Why did you become a journalist?

I'm not very interesting. But other people, and their work, are.

When's the best time to pitch you?

Not the middle of the night.

What's your favorite drink?

For adult beverages, bourbon. For hydration, Pellegrino.

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

Out for a walk!

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

Pittsburgh Quarterly is a good local gem.

What's the most common misperception about your beat?

Science illuminates the world, but it's more often a process akin to stumbling in the dark looking for the light switch.
