Hi! Thanks for doing this. Please put down how you’d like to be identified here:
I'm a social newsgathering reporter where I use open source intelligence to gather and verify photos, videos, and other elements, talk to sources, and obtain reporting from social media for broadcast and digital news.
Is there a particular photo you’d like me to use? It doesn’t have to be of you. It can be of, like, a dog.
What is a piece of writing (book, play, poem, etc) that you think of often?
It'd be a tie between The Intelligence Trap and Think Like a Monk, two books focused on curating a healthy mindset and centered around being aware of ourselves and making good decisions to live a healthy and fulfilling life.
What is the best piece of advice you ever received?
This Italian proverb that my favorite restaurant is named after is something I carry with me deeply and try to live my life by.
"Chi va piano, va sano e va lontano" — which I'm told roughly translates in English to "If you have an easy-going and relaxed approach to life, you'll live healthily and longer."
