I wanted to highlight a few of my favorite stories. First and foremost, I dedicated several weeks to reporting a deep dive on the sustainability and behind-the-scenes of the sushi industry. It’s a fascinating business facing thorny questions:

On Friday, I wrapped up my time as the features intern at @seattletimes. This was the best experience I could have asked for, thanks to The Times' amazing team. As I reported on culture, arts, food, music and the outdoors, I learned so much about Seattle and about journalism.
