I lead shows and teams, in production and in development. Original editorial, brand partnerships, and podcast strategy. Host management, series arc and planning, production calendars, budgeting and cost management, scripting and editing.
I’ve developed, written, and produced daily, weekly, and long-form shows, for broadcast and streaming. I love thinking about story structure and the puzzle of keeping people listening.

I build and lead teams to tell riveting, informative, delightful stories.
I’m the Executive Producer for Development and Partnerships at Pineapple Street Studios. I created our development team, and the systems for assessing pitches. In my previous role as senior producer, I led the teams that made Will Be Wild, Because of Anita, My Fugitive, Pod Save America’s Iowa series, Stay Tuned with Preet, and other projects. I co-EP’d and co-wrote the audio stories for The Book of Hov, the interactive exhibit about the artist JAY-Z at the Brooklyn Public Library.
Outside of Pineapple, I produce Octavia’s Parables, a chapter-by-chapter read-along of Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Talents and Parable of the Sower, hosted by adrienne maree brown and Toshi Reagon.
Before Pineapple, I was the senior producer at Note to Self, at WNYC Studios. And before that, I was the reporter for WNYC’s all-star Data News team. I made a series with Jad Abumrad about gay conversion therapy called UnErased, a series with Edible Magazine about food and technology, and helped launch a series about the opioid crisis. I was an Alicia Patterson Fellow, an editor at the Investigative Reporting Workshop, and a reporter at the Center for Public Integrity.
I started in radio at WBAI, producing a live three-hour morning show. I was co-director with Deepa Fernandes of a nonprofit called People’s Production House, which trained low-wage workers and high-school students as radio reporters. I speak fluent French and interview-capable Spanish. And I worked on special effects for Starship Troopers.
I’m currently working on a project about disaster preparedness, and how to nurture community in a time of crisis.
