Yes, as the sports editor, and I fell in love with it all.
What story are you most proud of writing or working on?
The story on Justise Winslow that's in my portfolio. Flew across the country, talked with him and several people close to him, love the lede.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
Hustle harder and talk to more people. Also, find an editor who will offer constructive criticism.
When's the best time to pitch you?
Send me an email or message me on Twitter at your convenience.

Red wine and coffee. Not at the same time.
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
