As a blogger in 2005, though writing has always been integral to my work in communications.
Have you ever used a typewriter?
Yes, an IBM Correcting Selectric.
What's the funniest news-related #hashtag you've seen?
Most recently, #NerdProm to describe White House Correspondents Dinner.
How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?
Most of my stories are self-generated, but email preferred
What's your favorite social network?

I enjoy putting my thoughts to screen.
