My stories have won the award for Religion Reporting Excellence from the Religion News Association, the Religion Communicators Council Award for Excellence and Wilbur Award, and been named a staff favorite by PRX. My book was a finalist for the IACP's Julia Child First Book Award, and won the Food52's Piglet competition, as well as making best-of lists from US Today to Saveur. I was also awarded a Ferris-UC Berkeley Psychedelic Journalism Fellowship.
