Although news reporting is my first love, I truly enjoy writing editorials, opinion pieces and first-person essays, a craft I\u2019ve honed after years of reporting almost every beat, across media.

I believe in the nuances of stories; the gray area between the shouting sides that so often get attention. To explore those gray areas in my own profession, I completed a one-year\u00a010,000 mile journey to chronicle journalism in America<\/a>, which earned awards from the Society of Professional Journalists and the National Federation of Press Women, among others.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
