Interview

What's your favorite social network?

Pinterest, because it's so good for getting inspired. There are also a lot of really handy tips and articles on writing.

Why did you become a journalist?

I have a passion for writing and there are things I want to say.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Never give up. If you want it and you're prepared to work at it, you will get there, no matter how hard it is at first.

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

Either with my head in a book or on my PS4.
