Feature stories

My curiosity is what got me into journalism. My love of learning about all the different types of people in this world and sharing their stories is what keeps me writing.
As a features reporter, I have had the privilege of meeting and talking with a plethora of interesting people and writing about what makes them tick. The stories I'm most proud of are the intimate, narrative variety, and their subjects still stick with me years later.
Here are some of my favorites:
