Before a new year arrives, I’ve always found it especially important and helpful to reflect on the past 365 days.
Here’s a quick look back at the top 10 news stories I covered in 2021, starting in January all the way through December - conveniently sitting at a total run time of 2:21. :)
It was hard to pick just 10, but I felt these were the stories that stretched me the most or the ones I’m most proud of.
From interviewing state leaders, covering the Carter's, a presidential visit, state courts, and a UPS worker turned Christmas miracle that will stick with me for many years to come.
