Interview
What was your first job as a journalist?
It was a remote position through a Californian publication called Mindfray. I had a student writing internship.
Have you ever used a typewriter?
I have! I grew up using a typewriter to write all my short stories on as a kid!
What's your favorite social network?
Definitely Twitter, Instagram is a close second. Twitter has become my breaking news/current events feed, meme library, and so much more.
Who do you wish followed you?
Zendaya or Chrissy Teigen. I ADORE them because both extremely successful, but still true to themselves.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
Create content for YOU, not the publication or for readers. Your audience will find you so long as your putting content out!
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
Probably somewhere listening to live music or doing makeup as a makeup artist!
