 What is your position at the Pioneer?

Entertainment and Arts Editor.

 Why did you want to join the Pioneer?

My cousin, and former editor, Anna Favetta, suggested that I should or else she would inflict acts of violence upon me.

What got you interested in entertainment?

I’ve always had a keen interest in movies, games, theater, and entertainment in general.

It’s a tie between Clerks, Back to the Future, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Tommy, Airplane, The Goonies, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Sleepaway Camp, Into The Spider-Verse, Kingsman: The Secret Service, Being John Malkovich, and The Lego Movie.

Do you want to work for or write about the entertainment industry after highschool/college?

Absolutely, one of my dream jobs is working for Saturday Night Live.
