Never have I hated a photo of myself more and it’s the feature photo of a @washingtonpost story!! It do be like that (a thread) https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2020/07/13/college-health-centers-problems/?arc404=true
Jokes aside, I cannot be more grateful to @jennabelson for coming across my reported column and bringing Duke Student Health into a much larger and important conversation about how college student health centers are not equipped to provide the basic care that students deserve.
Being a source has unwittingly made me a better, more empathetic reporter. @jennabelson was always patient, understanding and a human before a journalist.
And I was nervous having a photographer follow me for my first visit to MD Anderson post-treatment, but honestly, I think I had a better experience because @bonjomo was there. These are journalists I aspire to be.
