Interview
Have you ever used a typewriter?
I wish! Call me a hipster, call me a journo-nerd - but I would love to own a vintage Royal typewriter.
What tools and software do you use to do your job?
I use social media sites including Twitter and Instagram, Microsoft Office, Adobe InDesign and Photoshop, and content management systems like Wordpress. Also, my Canon Rebel!
What's your favorite social network?
Personally, Facebook because I can keep up with my friends in-depth. Overall, I use Twitter the most - I follow the news, my heroes & my friends.
Why did you become a journalist?
I love stories. I love reading stories, writing stories, telling stories and listening to stories. I became a journalist, not only so I could continue to learn something new everyday, but so I could tell people's stories as well.
When's the best time to pitch you?
Anytime. I am a typical Millennial and therefore I am plugged in 24/7 (except when Girls is on HBO).
