Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

I worked at Mashable, DuJour, and Domino Magazine as an intern. My first full-time job out of college was at Mic.com as a social editor.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

No, and I truly don't think I'll ever get the chance.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Via email, never DMs.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Cold emailing works.

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

At a coffeeshop or on my roof reading a good book.
