The Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation
Rooted to Rise
For this significant grant-contracted, donor-centric project, I wrote several pieces about the state of work and play in Findlay and Hancock County. The collection focuses on topics such as housing, workforce development, and public parks. Completed in spring 2025, the stories and data collected for them continue to serve as a primary source for the Foundation's public presentations and donor appeals.

The Findlay-Hancock County Alcohol, Drug Addiction, and Mental Health Services Board
Community Literacy Catalogue
Spotlighting the region's international newcomers in 2024, these stories were published during a time when political dissonance focused negative and defamatory attention on immigrants in places like Springfield, Ohio. The story collection embodies the zeitgeist, contextualizes the challenges faced, and points out some of the successes of such newcomers and those committed to helping them. Infusing personal narratives of those impacted with information from service providers who work with this population, this deeply researched, 15-part series addresses topics that range from literacy to health care.​
