Have you ever used a typewriter?
No but I did use a word processor.
What's the funniest news-related #hashtag you've seen?
Why did you become a journalist?
I couldn't escape it.
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
I started a school newspaper in the 6th grade. It was not long-lived. In high school I started the drama club. Draw your own conclusions.
What story are you most proud of writing or working on?
I did a lot of investigative work on the Camp Lejeune water contamination on Beacon Reader crowd-funding site but it was all lost :(
What's the most common misperception about your beat?
