I’ve written 124 articles for The Chronicle.
But when I graduate in May, I’ll walk across the stage knowing this story was *THE* one.
These are the stories that remind me why I went into journalism.
(And to all the people who let me cook for the last month, thank you.)
Quinnipiac allegedly fired women’s lacrosse coach Tanya Kotowicz for playing an injured athlete. Internal documents — and the athlete’s dad — say that didn’t happen. (Story by

This was sincerely one my favorite pieces to write. It involved a lot of research — always my favorite — but the amount of support I received from student orgs willing to take the time to share their thoughts made the piece shine.
when i lived in san diego, we were once evacuated due to a nearby wildfire. today, i walked outside my naugatuck, connecticut, house to an orange-tinted sky and the exact same sooty smell i still remember 15 years later.

It appears as though Hamden’s Falcon Pizza — a go-to for many Quinnipiac University students — has been shut down.
I am stuck in Ithaca and will have more info when I convince someone to go take a clearer photo of the suspension sign.

: University officials installed several new tap card-activated gate systems on the Mount Carmel and York Hill campuses this summer.
Amid the recent trespasser — and one incident last semester — I’m looking to talk to students about their thoughts!

The score doesn’t show just how much the Bobcats dominated Brown in the first frame, though.
Quinnipiac took more than three times as many shots and won more than three times as many face offs.

For the second time in as many days, the Bobcats are playing with an extra forward and six D.

One thing to watch for: face-offs.
The Bobcats won 54% of their face-offs against Maine — lower than their 2022-23 season average but still a majority.
UNH has absolutely dominated in the circle, though, winning 75% of puck drops this season.
