My Verbal Blend project won first place in the Online Feature Reporting category for Region 1.

Now I compete with the first place winners in that category from the 11 other regions for national honors.

Unreal. I'm so excited :D

Award-winning journalist?!

Updates about Business Insider soon enough, but for now I have great news regarding my Verbal Blend project for NewsHouse.

About a month or so ago, I entered my project in the Society of Professional Journalist's Mark of Excellence Awards for the online feature reporting category. I'm proud to say that my project is a (Region 1) finalist!! I'm so excited!

Hopefully I get picked to advance to the national competition, but for now I am just thrilled that this project and Verbal Blend has been recognized!
