Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes, honey -- love me a typewriter. I don't have one anymore -- but typewriters are so satisfying.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Keep it short & to the point.

Why did you become a journalist?

My curiosity dial is stuck on 12.

When's the best time to pitch you?

Anytime is a good time. That's the beauty of turning off email notifications (ha!). Pitch me anytime & I'll see it bright & early each day.

What's your favorite drink?

My favorite drink is water. Is that too nerdy? Okay, a close second would be a Manhattan.

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

Traveling, hiking or dabbling in new hobbies.
