A little late to this but I’m incredibly pleased our women’s health series “Unheard. Unserved.” has been named a finalist for an RTDNA and an AJA. Thank you to all the women who trusted me with their stories and believe in journalism as an avenue for change 🫶 1/3

It’s also such an honour to have been nominated for the Mike Critch crime reporting award for my coverage on the Marsman case.

I’m so proud of my incredible colleagues for their nominations as well — like @Anna_Mandin — whose IPV series is also a finalist for an RTDNA! 2/3
