Why did you become a journalist?
Even as a wee babe, chilling in a high chair, I was riveted by what was playing on TV. I’d want to know all about this magical world. I was fascinated by actors and how they approached their work (Thank you, James Lipton, for asking all of those smart and fun questions). I watched entertainment news shows back when they actually covered art instead of gossip. I’d dream of schmoozing with the stars, visiting sets, and getting behind the scenes scoop on the hottest new thing in TV and Movies…and I still do.

My renewal campaigns for 'Galavant,' 'Timeless,' and 'Kevin (Probably) Saves the World' and the interviews with their casts/showrunners.
