Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

I was an intern at the Santa Cruz Sentinel. It was a great experience! I loved covering the people and events of my community.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes! I used to write my parents "letters" when I was a kid.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

I prefer a couple paragraphs telling me the cold hard facts and giving me a background on why the product/person might be "newsworthy".

What's your favorite social network?

I love Twitter! You can find sources, learn about breaking news and innovative research, and keep your finger on the journalism pulse.
