Have you ever used a typewriter?
No, I haven't ever had the chance to type on it, but I've thought about how tedious writing articles on one would be for sure.
How is social media changing news?
Social media is playing a larger role than ever. It provides accessibility, yes, but also makes it hard to discern real news from fake news.
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
Sort of. I began my journalism career by taking the yearbook route at Round Rock High School, where I served as the Editor-in-Chief.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
Try new things. Never count out a story or an assignment because it isn't on the most popular athlete in the country. Be passionate always.
What's the best pitch you ever got?
Definitely a feature on Houston Texans legend J.J. Watt. A Gatorade PR rep reached out to me with quotes and an exclusive video to use.
What's your favorite drink?
Strawberry lemonade. I've always loved how sweet it is, and could tell you with 99% accuracy which restaurants have it or if it's any good.
