Recently, I completed a year-long fellowship with The OpEd Project. Their work focuses on training subject experts to increase their public outreach, primarily through journalism such as oped or editorial articles.
My participation as a Public Voices Fellow included several workshops, collaborations with colleagues, and a lot of soul-searching about my personal and professional public identity. I had the opportunity to work one-on-one with coaches whose own journalistic accomplishments are numerous.
Eventually, my op eds were published in places such as Newsweek, Ms. Magazine, and The Hill. You can find a list of my most recent op eds below.
