The Stanford Daily
As a student journalist for The Stanford Daily, I independently pitched, researched, and wrote a longform feature on Stanford’s transition to renewable energy and its goal of becoming 100% solar. I conducted in-depth interviews with university staff, sustainability experts, and solar industry professionals to provide a comprehensive look at the initiative. My reporting broke news that Stanford would be one of the first universities to make this transition, sparking broader discussion about sustainable energy on campus. This story was especially meaningful to me because it highlighted how investigative reporting can inform the community, drive conversation, and gain wide circulation through social media.
Shared by Stanford professor Mark Zachary Jacobson to his 45,000+ followers, my piece gained significant social media visibility and sparked conversation on renewable energy.
