About Me
I'm a reporter for the Intelligent Investing and Markets sections of Forbes.com. I've been on a journalism whirlwind that has included graduate school at New York University, work at the Newport Daily News in Rhode Island and becoming a business reporter. My work has been featured in the New York Daily News, the Huffington Post and Inc., among other places. You can follow me on Twitter @azendrian.
Professional
I'm Known For...
Sometimes having long-winded phrases but explaining things in a way that I think makes sense. I like taking a conversational tone because it seems more real and engaging.
My Current Project
Contributing to Intelligent Investing with Steve Forbes. I'm also trying to rehab my knee after ACL reconstruction surgery six months ago to the point that I can take dance classes this fall and play basketball in the winter. Fingers crossed.
My Greatest Achievement
To date, the article that has made me the most proud and validates why I became a journalist is The Cold Calculations Of Coal Mining. A close second is the article where I found my voice and style -- The Family Business featured in the Philadelphia City Paper.
I Truly Respect
People who are trying to understand the markets a little better.
How I Pay For This Wardrobe
Slowly and more often than I'd like to admit by credit card.
Blocks I've Been Around
Philadelphia, Newport, Walt Disney World, the lower East side of Manhattan and many parts of Long Island.
Where I'd Like To Be 10 Years From Now
Anywhere so long as I'm happy and healthy. And I guess I'd like those closest to me to be happy, healthy and nearby as well.
Why Forbes
Because of the caliber of journalists that I'm fortunate to be surrounded by who are constantly striving to provide the most useful articles possible.
