More about me
Currently, I'm an independent podcast showrunner, producer, and consultant. I'm a curious creative at heart, with a devotion to telling the stories of people from diverse backgrounds and underserved communities. Previously, in the past 12 years of my career, I've worked at various podcast and public radio shops, including Pineapple Street Studios, Neon Hum Media, Stitcher, WNYC, and NPR.
Much of my career has been spent analyzing big ideas and crafting vivid pieces for a variety of programs -- from daily news magazines and game shows, to longform interview programs and narrative storytelling projects. My work has been heard on several Stitcher Original podcasts (including Sold In America, Gossip, and Heaven's Gate), as well as on NPR and WNYC.
I have also hosted and produced Play It Back, an independent podcast where music lovers tell stories about the songs that have changed our lives.
