Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

I pitched Wine Enthusiast and started getting print and digital assignments.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

No, but I did use a Brother Word Processor with a one-line screen to write papers in high school and college.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Targeted email

What's your favorite social network?

Instagram. It's addictively delicious to be immersed in travel, food and beverage journeys all over the world.

Who do you wish followed you?

Michelle Obama

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

I didn't work for the high school newspaper but I was on the yearbook staff.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Stay hungry, hustle, take time off, read and write everyday.

What's your favorite drink?

A Negroni on one large cube with Beefeater Gin and Dolin Rouge Vermouth, garnished with a flamed orange peel. Or Champagne, always Champagne.
