Interview
What was your first job as a journalist?
My first job was writing short news pieces for a pop culture website.
Why did you become a journalist?
I always loved to write, even as a kid. I thought I'd write fiction, but once I started covering cars, I knew I'd found my home.
What's the worst pitch you ever got?
I get an endless number of pitches about pregnancy and childhood products. I am not writing about your breast pump or belly cream.
What's your favorite drink?
I can survive anything with a cold glass of Diet Coke in hand.
What's the most common misperception about your beat?
The travel isn't as cool as it looks. I know some airports better than my local grocery store.
