Interview

Why did you become a journalist?

I became a journalist because I wanted to get involved with the esports scene. That transpired into a love for storytelling and reporting.

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

I actually was a terrible writer in high school and more involved with mathematics/science. Writing was a passion discovered later in life.

What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?

Write and read as much as you can. Mistakes are a natural part of the process, but learn as you go. The reps will show in your writing.
