Awards & Recognition

Best of Sno

1. Cracking down on campus hate: universities under investigation for antisemitism

2. Doodles to dollars: the fight to make art a career

These reports won because of the timely, impactful reporting, original angles, and compelling storytelling. 

​

Cracking Down Under Campus Hate stood out for its in-depth look at the rise in antisemitism on college campuses and the government’s response. By combining national relevance with local perspectives, I aimed to spark meaningful conversation about student safety, free speech, and discrimination.

​

Doodles to Dollars was selected for its emotional depth and human-centered storytelling. It follows a fellow student’s dream to pursue a career in art despite financial uncertainty, highlighting broader themes of passion, resilience, and the real struggles behind creative ambition.

​

Both pieces represent what I strive for in journalism: using my voice to inform, connect, and make others feel seen.
