I pursued theatre for most of my young life, even getting accepted into a number of drama schools within the New York City area. I instead chose to pursue journalism, as it seemed like a nice fit for both my creative and academic character.
I prefer creative work. I value contributing to a meaningful cause, whether it be in my field of expertise, or an entirely new endeavor. A team that recognizes its members as creative human beings with strengths and flaws is, in my opinion, the most fortunate team in the world.
