2024 - Online Business Writing First Place

I received the first place award in the online business writing category from the DC SPJ for a story on the growing cannabis business sector in Washington, DC. The story was entitled “Businessman Strives to Bring Luxury to DC’s Once-Stigmatized Cannabis Sector.” I was also a finalist in the same category for a second story, “Can AM Radio Be Saved? Should It Be?” The story focused on legislation intended to keep AM radios in new model cars.
