Interview

What does it mean to be a journalist?

A drive to pursue the truth and justice

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

I worked on the Camp Zama Japan yearbook, doing photography and graphic layout.

What's your favorite drink?

A double cafe macchiato to get my engine running in the morning

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

Working out or gardening.

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

The Atlantic, Long Reads

What's the most common misperception about your beat?

That the gray-haired academic Lyme physicians are right and the Lyme patients are wrong about chronic Lyme disease. It's complicated.
