Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

I have! They require an immense amount of finger-strength. Victorian-era writers must have had muscular fingers.

How is social media changing news?

Social media is transforming the speed at which news spreads, though it is contributing to more misinformation as well.

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

I like Hubspot CRM for email tracking and SEMrush for SEO tools.

Who do you wish followed you?

If Maya Angelou followed me, I would know I've reached my highest self as a thought-leader. She is a phenomenal woman.

When's the best time to pitch you?

Anytime! I'm open to feedback, comments, and suggestions of all types, and at any time.

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

I am likely to be found knitting or crocheting if I am staying indoors. Otherwise, I can be found hiking!
