What was your first job as a journalist?
Editorial assistant at La Scena Musicale. The first paid article I wrote for them was a review of the album Virtuosa.
Why did you become a journalist?
I find there's a lot of negativity in the world. Especially in the news. I want to write stories that help people and that spread positivity.
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
No, but I wrote some articles for my university's paper, The Charlatan. I once infiltrated a furry convention for a feature article.
What story are you most proud of writing or working on?
The closure of the McGill Conservatory. I traveled into Montreal from Ottawa to interview protestors.
What's your favorite drink?
A strawberry daiquari!
What's the most common misperception about your beat?
That the arts are unimportant. Music and the visual arts actually help us understand each other better - they are universal languages.
