Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes-and I still own one

Why did you become a journalist?

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

nope! Just started writing recently

When's the best time to pitch you?

early morning or late evening

What's your favorite drink?

Trader Joes Peppermint Green Tea in the winter. Trader Joe's Sparkling Watermelon Juice in the summer. #basic.

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

Playing princesses with my daughter or cooking

What's the most common misperception about your beat?

I take a ton of supplements, use powders, and am into Dry January. I am a real food kind of gal. And I enjoy an occasional cocktail :)
