IN THIS ISSUE: Interviewed bestselling author Kate Andersen Brower, who lives in Bethesda and has written about the East Wing of the White House, where the first family lives. “The timing of the interview couldn’t be more appropriate, with the Bidens about to move in,” Halpern says.
IN THIS ISSUE: Photographed eateries for “Best of Bethesda” and “Table Talk.” “There are so many great places to eat in this area; it was a lot of fun being introduced to some new restaurants.”
WHAT SHE DOES: A freelance writer, she has also worked as a television, newspaper and magazine reporter. She was the associate producer of an Emmy award-winning documentary. FIRST JOB AFTER JOURNALISM SCHOOL: Morning news anchor and reporter for an ABC-affiliated TV station in West Virginia. “We had five reporters on staff but only two videographers. Most days after I signed off from doing the Good Morning America ‘cut-ins,’ I’d grab a tripod, a giant tape deck and camera, and head out to cover stories about coal mine strikes and flooded-out hollers. To shoot the part of the story where I am in front of the camera, I’d set the camera up on the tripod, press the record button and run in front of the camera really quick.” WHERE SHE’D BE RIGHT NOW IF NOT FOR THE PANDEMIC: In the Canadian Rockies on the Christmastime ski trip that she and her family take every year. “Sadly, we are breaking a long-standing tradition.”

WHAT SHE DOES: A freelance editorial photographer and photojournalist, she recently helped her brothers, Nate and Ben, found the online news organization Max News Today. She’s also an intern with the Smithsonian Center for Folklife & Cultural Heritage, where she writes for their online magazine. “Whether it’s through my photographs or my writing, I love sharing stories.” HOW SHE GOT HER START: She has not stopped taking pictures since getting her first camera—a yellow Crayola point-and-shoot—at the age of 8. “I would go out in the backyard or on walks down the C&O Canal and pretend I was on a National Geographic expedition photographing the wildlife.” FAVORITE HOLIDAY: She treats the months of September and October as Halloween season, and even went trick-or-treating as a sophomore in college. “It’s not a holiday; it’s a lifestyle. I will spend months preparing my costume.” Past costumes have been featured on Buzzfeed and won her tropical vacations.
