What was your first job as a journalist?

My first job as a journalist was as a Boston Bruins and general NHL writer at PUCKerUp Sports, a fully women-run online publication.

How is social media changing news?

Social media is changing news by creating a 24/7, 365 news cycle because social media is always in real-time and never shuts off.

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

At an ice rink still watching hockey, on a river fishing, or hanging out with my dog on the couch and doing a puzzle.
