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!

Hello!

I was abroad in Florence, Italy last semester when, during my second interview with The Florentine, Giacomo (my supervisor-to-be) said "Would you like to go to Switzerland and write an article for our student issue?" I was ecstatic. OF COURSE! I jumped at the opportunity.

While in Florence, I decided that the Switzerland trip would be the beginning of the documentation of what I hope will be an exciting journalism career.

It's not just about the free travel perks. Or free anything. For the past few years, journalism has provided so many opportunities for me to meet the best people, learn new things, and go places. Literally, figuratively. I love it. Even when I think I'm not good enough to write, report, observe, DO THIS, I immediately realize that a) I am and b) I can't imagine doing anything else. I think there's so much out there not to care. And people are so interesting. We all have stories to tell.

So here's to my journey! (And hopefully some great stories).
