April 2026 Updates
Hello! I am surviving–not going to lie, a little burned out! I’m also working on many reported pieces behind the scenes.
I’m also involved in three talks at the Association of Health Care Journalists’ conference at the end of May. And I received a covering workplace mental health fellowship from the National Press Foundation. Yay!
