Circa 2019, presenter at GSPA Spring Conference
Storytelling isn’t just a keyword to me. It’s the way I’ve always made sense of the world.
At 15, when my creative writing teacher recommended I join my high school newspaper staff, I jumped on the opportunity.
As a staff writer at The Bird Feed, I was trained on the proactive, entrepreneurial mindset that meaningful, award-winning, investigative journalism required. Recognitions of my work include:
Multiple ‘Best of SNO’ recognitions
All-Georgia ‘Emerging Digital Media’ at Georgia Scholastic Press Association (GSPA) Spring 2020 Conference
All-Georgia ‘Commentary’ at GSPA Spring 2021 Conference
The Bird Feed consistently wins ‘General Excellence’ by GSPA
