I just finished a little over two years at the Ten Percent Happier podcast network. I joined the team when it was just our host, Dan Harris, and one Senior Producer. I was hired as a Production Coordinator, but wore many hats — taking on a lot of AP work such as cutting tape, supervising scripts, doing research, and booking guests. As my role shifted to Sr. Prodcution Coordinator and we grew the network to include four shows, I assisted with show launches, worked with Art19 and Wondery on creating and delivering ads and promos, and overall created and maintained all production schedules on the flagship show.

Prior to that, I worked with LA-based indie podcast She’s All Fat, as the Senior Producer. My work entailed putting together production schedules, giving assignments to junior staff, editorial planning with our host/creator, scripting, booking, sound design, mixing - the whole gamut. While I did a lot of creative production work, my logistical and analytical side also helped me stay on top of production by being extremely organized. We had a devoted listenership of 15-20k listeners per episode, and I was able to sell about $20,000 in ad revenue for the team.

I’ve been in the audio industry for 12 years, starting out as a sound designer for theatrical productions. Throughout the last five years, I’ve freelanced in the podcast industry — mixing, mastering, editing, and producing. I’m someone who is highly collaborative and love working on teams with creative and driven people. My background in theatre sound design means that storytelling is my biggest passion and what ultimately drew me to the world of podcasting. Plus, I am extremely organized, can work on multiple projects at once, can manage my own time and consider myself a life long student & learner.
