Starting with an ‘Outstanding Student’ award bestowed by the Media Studies faculty at the Rutgers School of Communication and Information (2023), I have been selected for three top awards that celebrate excellence in media scholarship. I won a best paper award from the Media Management and Entrepreneurship Division at the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC) annual conference, 2023; and ‘Promising Professor’ first place award at AEJMC 2024, in Philadelphia. The New York State Communication Association conference (2024) has chosen my peer reviewed article published in IJoC as the top graduate student paper.
