SELECTED WORK
Award-Winning
I won the bronze prize in the magazine feature category of the EXCEL Awards from the Association Media & Publishing in 2020 for my Eos story The Unsolved Mystery of the Earth Blobs.
My stories The Surprising Root of the Massachusetts Fight Against Natural Gas and How the Ski Industry Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love Climate Activism are two of three finalists in the feature category of EXCEL Awards from the Association Media & Publishing this year. The award ceremony in June 2022 will announce if my stories won gold, silver, or bronze.
