What was your first job as a journalist?

My first job was a top 10 list about .io games. A .io developer contacted me over LinkedIn and asked to be added to the list.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

No, but I'd like to someday! I love the aesthetic.

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

I use Google Docs for my article drafts. They're easy to share, allow for live comments, and can be accessed offline.
