Interview
How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?
Email is best.
Why did you become a journalist?
I can't imagine not writing; it's always been a part of my life, even when I kept a diary as a teenager.
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
I didn't work for my high school paper but I wrote for my college newspaper, covering multicultural arts, which I continue to cover today.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
Read as widely as you can, particularly in your area of interest; ask questions; listen well.
