In recent days, I’ve been working as an audio producer and leading up the team at Grim & Mild Entertainment, Inc., Over the course of 670 million downloads, 10 million monthly listens, and 1350 episodes, I've been teaming up with my colleagues to turn archives into dramatic human stories, reanimating the past to help create meaning of the present. I research, I write, I vision-cast, I ask the hard questions, the whole kit-and-kaboodle.

Before this, I was on the founding team of Overheard at National Geographic. I’ve spun podcasts out of oral history archives for The National Park Service, produced alongside the good folks from Gravy at the Southern Foodways Alliance, and moonlit on the Morning Edition desk at KUAR in Little Rock, Arkansas. And once upon a time, I was Fulbright-Nehru research scholar to India, where I spent a year documenting the rise of women’s rugby across the subcontinent — and lacing up my own boots in the process.

There were other chapters, too — many of which were situated in the world of hospitality. The most meaningful way I’ve spent my days, though, was as a full-time, live-in caregiver. There are a lot of stories there.

I am the sum of all of these parts. My work is heart-centered and about relationships. I’m always seeking to learn more about what it means to be human, and how I might go about sharing those experiences.

I received my Masters in Oral History from Columbia University, am a proud grad of the Transom Story Workshop in Woods Hole, Ma., and a forever fan (and sometime student) of the Duke Center for Documentary Studies. 

And finally, I’m a graduate of the Nine Keys Death Midwifery Apprenticeship and a member of the International End of Life Doula Association.

I currently live in Washington, D.C. with my rescued mama pittie, who loves hosting a dinner party as much as I do.
