Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

I own one at home and have a lot of fun clacking away to write letters to family. But not professionally, no.

How is social media changing news?

People read headlines not stories. News is complex and we need to practice critical thinking of nuanced issues. Nothing is black and white.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

To seek out and uplift marginalized voices. To communicate health issues, scientific advancements and solutions to everyday audiences.

What's your favorite social network?

Bluesky

Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?

The Narwhal, The Discourse, Canada's National Observer, The Breach, CBC, Globe and Mail, Xtra, Biographic

What's the most common misperception about your beat?

That "health" is simple. If there was a simple fix we would have done it by now. Health is extremely complicated, messy and multifacited.
