Last week I wrapped up a year-long fellowship through the @Poynter program with @TexasTribune!

I met many incredible people and was fortunate to contribute to important work during my time in the newsroom. Below, I want to thank some of the colleagues who helped me.

This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Maine.

Tricia Asselin, 53, worked part-time at Just-In-Time Recreation, a bowling alley. Although it was her day off, she was there bowling with her younger sister. She is remembered as being kind and generous.

Through the @Poynter-Koch fellowship, I received training on all things journalism from industry leaders like @kristenhare, Jaymee Copenhaver, and @benetwilson, who pushed my fellowship class to put that knowledge into practice by developing projects that benefited our newsroom.
