Awards

Best Beat Writer

2012 - Sports Coverage

Given to the best beat writer for the sports section each semester; I was awarded it for my coverage of the women's soccer and men's basketball team. Most sports are assigned two beat writers that write previews, recaps and features for their assigned team, but I covered women's soccer by myself while also working as a biweekly columnist.
