Nevada Press Association

I'd actually won my first awards at the Review Journal.

I was the 2011 Journalist of Merit from the Nevada Press Association, which is what they the most prestigious honor for young journalists with less than five years of experience in the state.

And so there are a lot of great opportunities, but I knew I wanted more and I knew I had more to give.

And so 2000 17, I took a leap and decided to freelance for a while, which was a hard choice because freelancing is difficult.
