I don't like being perceived and I'm not great at eye contact. I'm easily embarrassed and, outside work, I'm pretty shy. So having almost 30 people staring at me while I sat for a portrait was definitely an experience. For @thebaltimorebanner.com: www.thebanner.com/culture/arts...

Super proud of the @thebaltimorebanner.com newsroom for winning an IRE award for our Key Bridge collapse coverage. At the time, we didn't even have a live blog, but we did have great journalists who know this community and what the bridge meant to it.
