MAKING THINGS AT SCALE

Senior Producer, Grim & Mild Entertainment 670 million downloads. 10 million monthly listeners. 1,350 episodes. I researched, wrote, and vision-cast stories that turned archives into dramatic human narratives. I asked the hard questions. I shaped the whole kit-and-kaboodle.

Founding Producer, Overheard at National Geographic
On the founding team of NatGeo's flagship audio property — a new form of media at an old storytelling institution. I asked the questions, found the stories, did the research, conducted the interviews, wrote the scripts, and helped build the editorial and production systems from scratch. Webby Award nominee.

BUILDING COMMUNITY

Co-Founder, The DC Death Collective
A membership organization, a directory, programming, and spaces where folks can talk grief + death. A community for mortals, as we like to say. Creative direction, branding, communications, events.

Founder, The Mount Pleasant Perpetual Stew Project
In early 2025, I set up a pot of soup in my neighborhood plaza every day for a month — free, open to anyone, fueled by whatever neighbors brought. What started as an act of resistance during a frightening political moment became a neighborhood ritual. Featured in The Washington Post and local news media. The Stew is now a team, and returned in 2026 for a three-month run.

Co-Founder + Producer, DiscoTitsDC: A Queer Dance Collective
The queer disco party that didn't exist yet in DC — so we made it. Four events, 2000+ attendees, always free, always full of surprises. Venue management, artistic direction, communications, hijinx.

Holistic Producer, GalaxSea: A Voyage into the Bioluminescent Night
Hired to produce audio on an experimental documentary film in Coastal Maine — and to hold the crew. Hot meals, eye masks, four steps ahead on individual and collective wellbeing. I believe this is what good production looks like: humane, attentive, a little softer than the industry norm.

FORMATION

MA Oral History, Columbia University
For my thesis, I spent time returning to Hot Springs, North Carolina — sitting with people, recording their voices, learning what it means to have been made by a landscape. The final project was a pop-up listening bar where strangers could sit down, order a drink, and choose their own path through the voices of Madison County, as well as a community-run oral history project + archive.

Fulbright-Nehru Student Research Scholar, India
A year spent documenting the rise of women's rugby across the subcontinent (I laced up my own cleats in the process).

The Transom Story Workshop + The Duke Center for Documentary Studies
Learning + making audio stories alongside some of the industry’s best.
