Two weeks ago I spoke on a bunch of panels at the Murrow Symposium at my alma matter, @pullman.wsu.edu ! I owe Cable 8, the Native Student Center, SEB and the @murrowcollege.bsky.social for helping prepare me up for this weird career I have. Thanks to the students and faculty for being nice!

Kidscreen Summit was truly a dream. I reconnected with old friends and met some dope new folks, spoke on a fun panel in front of a packed room and ate a super pretzel so big that it was basically a fried baguette. Great week no notes!
