Hi, and welcome back to the Carol Markowitz show on IHartRadio.

My guest today is Kimberly Ross.

Kimberly is an opinion writer for Washington Examiner and the Magnolia Tribune.

Hi, Kimberly. So nice to have Tribune. Hi, Kimberly. So,

nice to have you on. Hi, Carol. Thank you so much for having me. Glad to be here.

So I've been reading you for a very long time, and I'd love to know more about you and how you

got into this, you know, what I call this thing of ours. What was your start here?

It's interesting. I've always been interested in politics and news, even from a young age.

I remember my parents always had the news on, and I loved hearing about the world, the bigger world around me, whether it was politics or just culture or something.

So news has always been something I've been interested in.

And I was one of those teenagers

who like to watch the State of the Union, you know, one of those really weird teenagers

who did that and then like watched election returns and stuff. So I always knew I wanted to be

involved in politics or news in some way. But after high school, I went to college. I went to

community college for two years to try to kind of figure out what I wanted to do.

And I was an elementary education major for one semester.

And I realized very quickly that I was not made to be a teacher in a room of like 22.

Oh, yeah.

I hear you on that.

So many people are really good at that.
