Hey, I have an Emmy!
Truly so honored to be a part of the Emmy win for Outstanding Breaking News Coverage. I say this a lot, but I work with such talented, brilliant journalists.

It is a privilege and a duty to convey the impact of war and to tell the stories of those most acutely impacted. The work continues.

16 years of having a front row seat to history as it's being made. I feel so lucky to be able to learn from and work alongside some of the most dedicated, talented, hardworking people i've ever met.
