I’m a Peabody Award nominated podcast producer based in Brooklyn. I currently work freelance, and was a Senior Producer at Transmitter Media (acquired by Pushkin), and Producer for Call Your Girlfriend.
My most recent project was Queer Chronicles, an audio documentary about queer and trans teenagers living in conservative states, hosted by Raquel Willis.
With Transmitter, I produced Finding Fred hosted by Carvell Wallace, which The Atlantic named the #1 podcast of 2019 and was nominated for a Peabody Award. I produced two seasons of Rebel Eaters Club, Transmitter’s first original podcast about breaking up with diet culture, which was nominated for a Webby. I led production on Close to Death, an award-winning comedy podcast that profiles people who spend every day working with the dead and dying. I also led production on a forthcoming original series that explores and celebrates mysteries in Black culture. And I produced Election 101 with CNN Audio, which offered a weekly breakdown of the electoral process during the 2020 presidential election.
At Call Your Girlfriend, I’m proud of episodes I produced about sex work, police abolition, adult sex education, and the importance of the census. I made my on-mic debut in our winter 2020 books episode, and helped produce the Shine Theory live tour in fall 2019.
I previously worked with Al Jazeera’s Jetty Studios producing three groundbreaking podcasts: the internationally focused Game of Our Lives, Jetty’s award-winning debut show Closer Than They Appear, and a unique weekly international news podcast, The Take. I have also produced work with Gimlet Creative, and was an AIR 2018 New Voices Fellow.
Prior to my work in audio, I worked for the documentary filmmaking company Citizen Film, where I helped execute the public engagement campaign for a nationally broadcast PBS film, American Creed.
I grew up in North Carolina and earned Bachelor’s degrees in Journalism and Anthropology from UNC Chapel Hill.
