Las Vegas Review-Journal

I was 1 of 29 fellows selected to work for a national newsroom as a science reporter for ten weeks as a AAAS Mass Media Fellow in 2021.

I reported eight stories for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, covering topics around health and the environment. Four of the stories were accompanied by videos I independently produced and edited while on-location.
