Graduation

May 27, 2011

Officially finished with grad school as of Wednesday. Happy to be moving forward, but somewhat reluctant to say goodbye to several friends that will be scattering throughout the journalism world in pursuit of bigger and better things.

Back from India

February 28, 2011

We returned home from our Indian filming trip on Friday. Sorry to those who wanted to see photos, or read tweets and updates throughout — couldn’t find much time or reliable internet access during most of the trip. A few minor headaches and few major ones, but a fascinating experience to be sure. I’ll get [...]

To India

February 10, 2011

Off to India tonight to begin filming for our documentary on palliative care. After months of preparation and logistical wrangling it’s finally time to head out into the field and take of the most obvious and important aspect — storytelling. For those who need to get in touch with me please note that I won’t [...]
