Interview

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

I am proficient in both Microsoft Suite and Adobe Creative Cloud, including InDesign. I also regularly use Google Workspace.

Why did you become a journalist?

Knowledge is power, and an uninformed citizen is rendered helpless. I wanted to bridge the gap between those with power and those without.

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

I was a staff reporter for my high school newspaper, the Blue & Gold, for two years. I predominantly covered school news and student life.

When's the best time to pitch you?

I am most likely to respond to an email between 9am and 5pm, but I am always available via phone for more urgent pitches.
