There’s more to life than gathering millions of followers on Twitter.
I try to experience the real world and bring stories of those not on social media to life.
I work to live, I don’t live to work. But when I am working, I am 100% present.
PUBLIC MEDIA

WYPR is the NPR member station in Baltimore, Maryland.
