I don’t just conduct interviews with sources — sometimes I am the source. Here are a couple of my favorite media appearances, in case that’s your thing (or you’re my mom).

TV

I appeared on 20/20 in March 2024 to provide commentary on a murder case I covered while I was in college in Florida. The 20/20 episode, called “Killer on Campus,” followed a 2022 interview I did on the same subject for the Hulu series Death in the Dorms.

CBS News asked me in February 2023 to give remote employees tips on which home office deductions they could (and couldn’t) claim on their taxes.

PIX11 used me as an expert on millennial finances during the pandemic in May 2020. I joined WKYC to talk about whether it’s wise to ditch your debit card in February 2020.

My reporting (and interview) were featured on Good Morning America for a story about extreme couponers on TikTok in October 2019.

I’ve appeared on Cheddar several times to talk about Dollar Scholar (July 2019), Vine compilations (April 2019), passive income (November 2018) and Marie Kondo (February 2019).

Radio

I called into WGN to chat about coronavirus stimulus checks in April 2020. I chatted with the Mountain West News Bureau about Forrest Fenn’s treasure hunt in June 2019.
