I worked with a team of reporters on this feature article covering the Gunpowder Riverkeeper, Maryland Department, and Joppa community's efforts to hold the largest homebuilder in the country accountable for water quality violations from their construction site.

My contributions included: subject matter expertise, reporting, copy-editing, photojournalism, and web design & layout.
