I won 1st place in Environment reporting from SF Press Club for a @berkeleyside.bsky.social story about whale entanglements, the local Bay Area dungeness industry, and the impact of regulations on local crabbers and communities. I share this award with editor Tovin Lapin & photographer @amir.photo!

Ok I was being a bit chaotic with the sowing and didn’t label anything but now I know these are cilantro 🌿😀

👋 Hi ya'll, thanks for the new follows, and so great to see familiar names. I am a journalist, mom of two teens, small wave surfer, and photographer (mostly for fun) in the SF Bay Area. Pic below is one I took a couple of years ago in S.F. 🌊

planted these a week ago and the thrill of seeing little sprouts 🌱 (I planted a bunch of bok choy and 🌿 cilantro) #gardening

I wish every day could be a beach day 💙🌊

First time making bao by myself without my grandma’s help. My nai nai passed away in 1998. 💙
