Interview

How is social media changing news?

We're receiving info quicker from a wider variety of sources with the ability to provide or receive more info than if it were relayed on TV.

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Rachel, played by Naomi Watts, in The Ring (2002). That woman was so determined to get her story she nearly died for it.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

Your job is to research, get information, provide facts to the public on whatever topic you're covering, and answer questions.

What's your favorite social network?

It's a toss-up between TikTok and Twitter at the moment.

Why did you become a journalist?

To satisfy all my passions - constantly wanting to learn, write, and get involved with the entertainment industry.

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

I did. I had my own personal column that ran each issue.

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?

As of this moment, anything Scream-related or John Wick. I got to be there for the fourth chapter, which was explosive.

When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?

At the movies!
