 * Biography

This needs a citation.. and I suggest you use the Pulitzer site itself... http://www.pulitzer.org/citation/2010-Breaking-News-Photography I'd also suggest quoting the Pulitzer Prizes on the award. I don't know where you got that it is a volunteer fire fighter, perhaps the man is that, but the drama of the photo is that he was a construction worker on the scene.... see this description: http://archive.desmoinesregister.com/article/20100412/NEWS/100412022/Register-photographer-Mary-Chind-wins-Pulitzer-Prize I would suggest you use this story to describe the situation in greater detail in the Awards section of her article. Leave the introduction to just the main thought -- she won the Pulitzer for this amazing rescue pic...

Mary lives in an old farmhouse in Altoona, Iowa with her husband Troy. She is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Mary, where she received her BFA in 1989 concentrating on graphic design and communications. Mary enjoys photography, traveling, gardening and fixing up her home and farm.
 * Personal Life

-- Citation? Perhaps this/ http://www.wausaudailyherald.com/article/20100414/WDH0101/4140655/1981 -- Use last names, not first on second references in news articles and Wikipedia....

In 1999, Mary joined the Des Moines Register where she still works. -- This does not appear to be accurate https://www.linkedin.com/pub/mary-chind-willie/72/754/356
 * Career

Previously Mary has worked for The Sierra Vista Herald as well as The Tuscon Citizen. Chind's photograph won First Place in NPPA's Best Of Photojournalism competition in the Domestic News category because the photo shows "the heart stopping moment when a rescuer dangling in a makeshift harness tries to save a woman trapped in the foaming water beneath a dam," the Pulitzer board said. -- The Pulitzer Prizes is a different prize, use it's description for its prize not the NPPA prize.
 * Awards

Other awards Mary won include the 1997 Russell L. Cecil Award, West Region, Arthritis Foundation, the 2003 Photo of the Year, The Des Moines Register, the 2005 Photo of the Year, The Des Moines Register, and the 2009 Spot News Photo of the Year, Editor and Publisher.
