The story I was most passionate about: Pheasant-hunting story.

Moment that I loved my job: When I got press passes to Ebertfest.

Moment that I hated my job: When I had four stories to write in one week in addition to school work and other work.

The story I would cover tomorrow: How to successfully organize your life.

I would love to investigate this person’s life further: My friend Vince.

If I could do one story over again: Ang Lee at Ebertfest.

What I’m looking forward to covering in the fall: General assignments.

I work here because: It’s a good thing to get experience and clips as a journalism major.

The hardest story to write: Casino story.
