Formerly hosting The Cut from New York Magazine, and senior producer at Conde Nast audio, producing at The Daily - New York Times, and Snap Judgment, I am a narrative storytelling producer first and foremost but with experience in chat and hybrid formats. I have a creative experimental tilt that I'd love to explore more. I am comfortable in Logic, Protools, Hindenburg, Reaper, Ableton, Audacity, Microsoft Suite, Google Adwords, social media programming, and Zoho CMS. I have some experience with adobe premiere and photoshop.

This website is a growing directory of people of color who work in audio around the world. You’ll find editors, hosts, writers, producers, sound designers, engineers, project managers, musicians, reporters, and content strategists with varied experience from within the industry and in related fields.
It’s both a place for employers to find POC candidates, and a place where POC can find each other for meetups, collaborations, advice and so on, which means that not everyone you’ll see on here is actively looking for a job.
To our POC family: we see you and we stand with you. Let’s continue to support each other.
If you’re an employer, we need to talk.
*clears throat*
While recruiting diverse candidates is a great first step, it’s not going to be enough if we want the industry to look and sound meaningfully different in the future. Let us be clear: this isn’t about numbers alone. This is about getting the respect that people of color—and people of different faiths, abilities, ages, socioeconomic statuses, educational backgrounds, gender identities, and sexual orientation—deserve. So before you get started, here are the Terms of Service:
I will pay employees a living wage.
I will consider the ways in which my workspace might be hostile to people of color and find concrete ways to support their contributions and wellbeing.
I will continually reflect on how my networks, taste, curiosity, comfort and values are shaped by my race, class, gender, where I grew up, the media I consume, and the fact that we live in a white supremacist culture. This takes time. It will require vulnerability, and a commitment to ongoing learning.
I understand that this directory is not ZipRecruiter, and that expanding my hiring practices requires that I dedicate some time to engaging with potential candidates in a deeper way than simply scanning their years of industry experience.
