Most memorable story you've covered:

My most memorable story is participating in Augusta’s Point in Time Count. It’s an overnight, annual count of the homeless population living on the streets. In the middle of the night, I joined a team of volunteers and County Marshal’s to survey Augusta’s homeless population, the highest the city had ever counted, in the middle of a housing crisis. The story highlighted the realities of living without shelter and the need for resources in Augusta.
