"I later found out that my boss wasn't really interested in hiring me until she got a handwritten thank you note in the mail."

"We want to have a place that people want to work that is, um, nurturing and that is a productive place and somewhere you can grow."

"Thinking creatively about how we're gonna still make that piece work and who else we can reach out to and edit articles."

"The number one skill is confidence. You have to believe that what you're doing is going to resonate with your audience and is worthy of coverage."

"I really like running the team...I get to set the tone for the team and build off of my experience as a writer for the things that I thought worked really well and things that didn't work as well, and I think need to change. So I do really love that leadership element of it."

"Almost everything I do is a priority, but there are only so many hours in a day."

"It is still a really exciting industry. I love hearing people's stories and whether that's from me doing interviews myself or being able to read stories that my writers have done. I'm constantly learning new things"

"I think people who are self-starters have the most potential."

"Someone will always be angry with you. It does not matter what you write or how you write. Someone will find something wrong with it."

"If you really wanna get in this industry and you're struggling to get interviews or jobs, weekend writer roles, night shift roles, those are great opportunities for greener writers."

"The most important thing I learned is that you need to demonstrate your worth."

"It's really difficult to put yourself into unknown situations and to kind of, you know, blaze your own trail."

"I know how much I'm worth. This is what I'd like to be paid."
