## Caption

Proud and honored that My New Favorite Baller, a series/project that I was deeply passionate about during my time at nbculocal won a Bronze Telly Award! tellyawards 

Projects like this are a reminder of why storytelling in women’s sports matters. I’m excited to continue creating work that highlights the impact athletes have both on and off the court/field.

Huge thanks to everyone who helped bring it to life and especially to the wnba athletes who trusted me to help share their stories, not only as athletes, but as leaders and difference-makers in their communities.
