What was your first job as a journalist?

Covering Zoom meetings of the South Hadley Planning Board for Turley Publications in Western Massachusetts.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

Being a journalist means being a good learner and a good writer. It means finding the truth and presenting that truth in an accessible way.

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

Nothing much fancier than Google Docs, unless I'm working on a sports stats personal project, in which case I'm muddling through RStudio.
