More about me
Looking for:
As an early career journalist and audio producer, I'm currently looking for freelance, part-time, and full-time opportunities to continue building my experience writing and editing audio stories. I'm interested in both quick turnaround and longer-term projects as I continue to refine my process. I have experience reporting, producing, and managing production.
Past experience:
My most recent experiences have been as a fellow at the national radio show This American Life, and before that as a production manager and producer of long-form investigative stories for Reveal with The Center for Investigative Reporting. I've also reported on city government; science, health, and environmental equity; and arts and culture among other areas in the past. I've served as a Public Affairs show producer, host, news editor, and station manager -- among other radio roles. I hold a Masters degree in journalism from UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism, where I focused on audio and data. And my work has additionally appeared on NPR, KQED Public Radio, KALW, Alaska Public Media, and in The New York Times.
Continued interest:
I'm currently most interested in reporting on health topics, including mental health, aging, and housing. And as an Egyptian-American producer and an immigrant, I continue to be particularly interested in reporting on issues affecting South West Asian and North African diasporic communities; and the intersection of immigration and racial equity.
