In my line of work, I strive to share stories that matter. I personally believe that even seemingly small stories can make a difference if it reaches even just one person who needed it, whether because it provided information they needed or perhaps opened their eyes to something new about the world around them. This sometimes means showing the relevance in what appears to be be mundane. But at other times, it entails making the grander stories reachable and attainable.

Although our job can be taxing at times, I often find joy in being on the same learning journey as our readers.
