What do you love about working as a journalist?
I love helping people tell their stories. The way we understand ourselves and others are via stories. The massive range of people, experiences and perspectives I have encountered even in my short career has shown me an immense amount about what it means to be human. I have an enormous appreciation for the privilege I have to be able to tell people’s stories.
