News 21’s “Voting Wars” project has recently won an Editor and Publisher 2016 EPPY award for our in-depth look at voting rights.

These  investigative stories were produced during a period of eight months with the News21: Carnegie-Knight Initiative. As an investigative reporter and producer, I pitched, researched, filmed, wrote, and produced stories from start to finish. Three of my stories were published by News21 and picked up by a verity of partnering news organizations such as The Washington Post, Stars and Stripes, AZ Central, Arizona Capitol Times, Center for Public Integrity, and NonDoc.
