What was your first job as a journalist?

I worked at my community college's newspaper, covering Features and campus updates.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Maybe once! I always wanted to collect them as cool vintage decorations.

What tools and software do you use to do your job?

I'm a big fan of Google Docs so I can take my work anywhere. Other than that, I mostly post in WordPress.
