More about me
I am a radio producer and musician. Currently I am the podcast producer at Michigan Radio, where I've been working on a new limited run series, Kids These Days.

Prior to Michigan Radio, Ispent the past four years producing audio in Philadelphia. In addition to her work on NPR Music and WXPN’s Peabody-nominated audiodocumentary, The Gospel Roots of Rock and Soul, I was the Social Practice Lab Artist-in-Residence at Asian Arts Initiative. There I collaborated with young people to develop an online audio sequencer that sampled sounds from the rapidly redeveloping Chinatown North Neighborhood. She’s produced shows like the Opt-in and the Healing Justice Podcast, and my radio features range from topics of skin stigmas to bioacoustics.

An avid biker, I'm always seeking the best route.
