>> I like getting to write and tell stories.
I've always enjoyed writing, and that even from, you know, high school, grade school and then
on to my classes at Villanova, and for me, I like that each day I craft and tell a story,
you know, based on, you know, with the help of the people
who the story is about, and I like getting to do that.
I like that every day it's different and that I'm not sitting at a desk most of the day.
I think that's important for me, and I feel like I'm learning every single day, and for me,
you know, it's as much about personal growth as it is about, you know,
trying to further your career, but also I think all of it falls into just you as a person.
So for me it's something that I think challenges me every day, and I like that.
>> How about some of those challenges?
What are some of the tougher parts?
You're working in, you know, in crime, you know, situations and stories.
Has anything ever come up that was a little bit dangerous or scary?
>> We're definitely -- you know, we go where the stories happen and where the crime happens.
So in a way, yeah, I think we're putting ourselves out there.
You're taught and you kind -- it's like really what comes out of it is you go with your gut,
and when you feel like you're in a bad situation or a dangerous situation
that you need to leave, then you do.
I can't say I've ever been too scared to finish something, to do a story, to get an interview,
but it is -- you know, we're walking up to victims of a crime
or people who's just lost a loved one and asking them if they want to talk
on camera, and that's never easy.
That's probably the most challenging thing and the thing that all
of us will say we like the least about the job.
I have been on the scene.
I covered a murder case in Macon, where the woman that was killed was dismembered.
That was probably the most challenging.
She was a young woman, not much older than myself,
and to cover that for weeks definitely took a toll, in terms of, you know,
the details that we learn and the things that we're writing
about each day aren't very positive.
But I think there's a reason that --
you know, the reason for covering it makes it worthwhile in the end.
