GETTING TO KNOW SLATE.ORG'S STAFF

Sarah Kochin
Program Manager of Slate.org

If you could be on a reality TV show, which one would you choose and why?

I would like to be on the Great British Bake Off. I’m not actually a great baker, but I’m confident everyone would be very sweet and try to help me struggle through a croissant or something. Plus the set and lighting makes everything look quite charming.

What is a skill you’d like to learn?

I’d love to learn how to become a successful gardener. While quarantined I had some luck with a few habanero bushes grown from seeds. I’d love to be able to grow a full garden with fresh herbs and produce.

What song is currently stuck in your head?

Pusha T - Neck & Wrist
