TRYING TO MAKE THE WORLD LESS BAD …
ONE PODCAST AT A TIME.
ABOUT MEI'm an endlessly curious journalist and dedicated-to-the-craft podcast producer, trying to live up to my childhood nickname -- pochemuckha.
I’ve been working as an audio journalist for over a decade. First, as a First Voice Media Apprentice at KPFA in Berkeley, CA, where I produced, reported, and hosted cultural affairs radio magazine, Full Circle. Then, as a podcast producer at PBS NewsHour, where I made documentary series and news shows.
Now I’m a podcast producer for ABC News. I write and produce longform narrative series like What Happened to the McStays? and Radioactive: The Karen Silkwood Mystery. And I produce day-of news segments and special episodes for our daily podcast Start Here.
My work has earned some acclaim along the way. A Murrow for On the Brink, and Inside Syria’s Most Notorious Prison, and an inaugural Signal Award for Best Writing, Listener’s Choice for "Mother Tongue/ родной язык.”
