Why did you earn Staffer of the Week?
I didn’t even know I’d gotten staffer of the week until you contacted me! But from what I’ve heard, it’s because I helped out with production last week when the current city news editor, Penny Hung, was out sick.
What is your favorite part about working for the Hoya?
My favorite part of working for The Hoya has to be the last night before all the new editors take their positions and replace the old batch of editors … It’s such an awesome experience.
If you were going to write an autobiography what would it be titled?
This is a hard one. I want to be witty but that’s never been my strong suit. So I guess I would call my autobiography “…” Maybe it’s corny, but I think it conveys a little bit of mystery and progress because you don’t know what’s coming next. If there’s anything that’s true about my life, it’s that I have no idea what I’m doing most of the time.
If you had a one-way time machine what era would you choose to live in?
I just saw a movie about the beat poets so I’d love to go back to the 50s and 60s.
