What's your favorite social network?

I have to go with Twitter. I feel like it's the most relevant and useful to our roles as journalists.

Why did you become a journalist?

I want to hold the powerful accountable and give my community — and other underrepresented communities — a voice.

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

Yes! I held the positon of “writing executive.” I basically led our team of writers in generating story ideas.
