Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final. – Rainer Maria Rilke

Leaving San Francisco is bittersweet but I’m so excited to take what I’ve learned here and apply it to this new challenge with the amazing visuals team at the Dallas Morning News.

Thank you @PhotoFruge, @EmilyBJan,@ashadamsphoto , @alvinjornada, @BronteWittpenn , @jachristian , @stephenlamphoto , @ScottStrazzante , @CAGisMe , @SantiagoMejia , @Lea_Suzuki , @YOSHIFOTO @gabriellelurie, Ramin Rahimian and Anna Sarpieri.

After 7 amazing years, I’ve just walked out of the @sfchronicle for the last time. I’ll be taking on a new challenge as the Deputy Director of Visuals for the @dallasnews in June. Working for the Chronicle was a dream come true. I’m so grateful for this amazing team.

Yesterday, we published a yearlong investigation into fatal police chases around the country. We also made our data public. If you're a local reporter hoping to dig into fatal chases in your community, please - use our data! github.com/sfchronicle/po…

"These are completely avoidable deaths,” said @Christy_E_Lopez, a Georgetown law professor. “Police are killing too many people in pursuits for reasons that are entirely unnecessary.” Our national investigation. ⬇️ sfchronicle.com/projects/2024/… With @susieneilson.

This yearlong @sfchronicle investigation is a gripping read with incredible takeaways and visuals @jennifergollan and @susieneilson @GuyWathen sfchronicle.com/projects/2024/…

CHRONICLE INVESTIGATION: Police chases are killing more and more Americans. Pursuits now claim nearly two lives a day across the country, and public officials are failing at nearly every level to confront the growing problem. sfchronicle.com/projects/2024/…

Deadly police chases are killing record numbers of Americans. The vast majority of people killed are suspected of only a minor crime, or no crime at all. Read our investigation: sfchronicle.com/projects/2024/…

NEW INVESTIGATION: Police chases are killing 700 people a year. The government is undercounting — so we built a database. Turns out most victims aren't even the fleeing drivers. And there's almost no accountability. By @jennifergollan & @susieneilson sfchronicle.com/projects/2024/…

Don’t miss the incredible, personal story of an @sfchronicle staff photographer searching for her great-great-grandfather’s lost grave.

I’ve put off writing this note but it’s time to face the difficult thing that I’m still processing: @FifthandMission is ending, the podcast I’ve produced and hosted for over 2.5 years. Today’s final episode is my goodbye note and reflection to listeners. sfchronicle.com/podcasts/artic…

So grateful to the @SH_Awards judges for recognizing the work of @sfchronicle Visuals Team. We cherish this honor because it showcases the talent and dedication of the entire team. scripps.com/fund/journalis…

Thank you for inviting me to judge @CollegePhotog! It was an honor and a privilege. I was deeply impressed with the high level of work being produced by college journalists. Congratulations to all the winners!
