It has been nearly 8 months since I wrote my last story as a journalist. Some pieces come to mind more often + one of those dear to my heart won a third place @SCPressAssoc award today and I'm so grateful for the women who shared their stories with me.

One of my last stories with @independentmail:

Really thankful to have talked with the Anderson coroners who spend their days speaking for the deceased; here's what that has taught them about life:

@JessMGallagher You're one of my favorite photojournalists of all time + I'm so happy we got to be colleagues.

[Saralina @saralinasher]

My husband and I have owned a photography business since we graduated and I'm so excited to document full-time for the @thenelsonsphoto.

Happy I'll still be telling stories + will always hold each person dearly who's ever trusted me with their story.

Some personal news🗞️

Next week is my last with the @independentmail and @greenvillenews as community reporter.

I have loved telling stories that resonate in the Upstate community and am grateful for amazing editors and colleagues who've pushed me to be a better communicator.

Thanks for giving us a turn in front of the camera @SchlabachPaige

Shy'heem Clemons, 19, died Sunday from injuries after a shooting at the Anderson Mall.

As friends and a former coach grapple with his loss they remember the TL Hanna grad: "he was always smiling."

At 100 years old, Mack Burriss is quick to joke + sweet as ever.

Loved writing this story about his longtime veterinarian career and impact in Anderson:

In my first story for @greenvillenews, @maconatkinson and I analyzed video footage, police reports and eyewitness accounts to break down what exactly happened at the protest in downtown Greenville last Saturday.

Proud of @AJhappened.
He got a haircut, the barber wasn’t the right fit and AJ wanted to turn it into a story to help others because a haircut is way more than a haircut.

"It feels like they're trying to push us out by making it so hard to get hours, that we can't work there anymore," part-time employee Mya Ourada said.

I talked with employees at the Anderson Starbucks who recently went on strike and they detailed why their store needs change:
