Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

My first job as a journalist was writing for an online tech magazine.

How is social media changing news?

Social media spread news like wildfire– both real and fake news.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

Being a journalist means putting out stories that people may or may not want to hear or read about. But, we do it anyway.

What's your favorite social network?

My favorite social media network is Twitter/X.

Why did you become a journalist?

I have always been fascinated by storytellers, so I am trying to become one.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Just keep on writing. Even if no one is reading, just write whatever you want to. Write to inspire, write to inform, write to express. Write.

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

When not working, I enjoy a good cup of coffee, playing music, and having the most insane adventures with my loved ones.
