Interview
What was your first job as a journalist?
My very first journalism job was the Quigley Fellowship on Women's Rights Journalism, an editorial research fellowship at Smith College.
Have you ever used a typewriter?
Once in an interactive museum. Does that count?
What tools and software do you use to do your job?
I use Notion as a project management/organizational system. I track everything there: pitches, invoices, contact lists...
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
My high school didn't even have a newspaper.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
Put yourself out there and learn as you go. Then continue learning for the rest of your life.
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
Reading somewhere comfy.
