✨ I’ll round it out with my story on what happened the last time that federal workers were sent out of DC during a Trump era. I loved capturing many human interest sides of this story. It’s not just a political one, it’s a story of home and stability: www.washingtonian.com/2024/11/25/t...

✨ I had three contributions on our Election Night live blog. Being a professional vibe-checker on a night when other journalists were more concerned about trying to break the news was a different and fun experience: www.washingtonian.com/2024/11/05/e...
Election Day 2024: A Vibes-Based Live Blog - Washingtonian

✨ Throughout, I tried out so many beats that I haven’t normally covered, especially history, culture, and politics coverage. One great story was this one on the hidden history of a Black neighborhood that should have been built in my own neighborhood: www.washingtonian.com/2024/11/18/t...
The Lost History of a DC Black Neighborhood That Was Never Built
Belmont would have been located in Friendship Heights.

✨ I got to do some theatre and music coverage, as someone who has thrived on the arts beat in the past. I’m proudest of this super fun story on the return of HFStival back in September: www.washingtonian.com/2024/09/23/p...
PHOTOS: The Faces (and Looks) of HFStival 2024 - Washingtonian

Going forward, I am armed and ready with strong reporting technique that I’ve recovered. This is also my open call that if you see writing opportunities, especially assistant editor/coordinator-type positions, send 'em to me (or music/theatre ofc), but for now, I’m going to be proud.
