Interview
Have you ever used a typewriter?
Many moons ago.
Who's your favorite fictional journalist?
April O'Neil
What tools and software do you use to do your job?
Edit using Adobe Suite- mainly Premiere Pro and After Effects
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
This business is a lot smaller than you realize. Try to treat everyone with respect because you never know who will pop up in your market.
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
Watching a horror movie while snuggling my two Brussel Griffon pups- Wookie & Vader
What's the most common misperception about your beat?
Just because I'm doing a lifestyle piece doesn't make it any easier or less important than hard news. It's still a lot of work.
