I wrote my first article--a profile piece on a super-fascinating teacher/artist-- for the local newspaper when I was 11 and have been hooked ever since. Everyone has a story and I love that being a journalist gives me the opportunity to both hear and tell so many interesting ones.
I've been writing about baseball since I was 16 and truly believe it is a metaphor for life. Although I have a master's in sports journalism, I'm slowly shifting more towards lifestyle pieces. I love to travel and--although I'm definitely a people person--usually enjoy exploring new cities on my own. I've recently developed a love of broadcast journalism because it adds another dimension to one's storytelling.
