Interview

How is social media changing news?

It's far more demanding than it used to be. News has to be up-to-date by the minute. It's very fast pace now.

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Lois Lane, obviously.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Just strike up a conversation and let's come up with something!

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

Google Docs is the best tool because I can work on articles from my laptop or phone.

Who do you wish followed you?

I'd probably lose my mind if Jake Tapper ever followed me. He's the coolest dude in news.

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

I did not work for a high school newspaper.

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?

Anything Star Wars related, honestly.

What's the best pitch you ever got?

The best pitch I ever received was a chance to write about Star Wars novels!

What's your favorite drink?

Anything with coconut rum. Recently though, I've been really into a cherry Bombay drink.

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

Playing video games.
