# About

I'm a freelance podcast producer living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I currently teach an "Introduction to Podcasting" class at the [Pittsburgh Center for the Arts and Media](https://pghartsmedia.org/). Most recently I was a producer for *Cheat!*, a show that thoughtfully explored the realm of scams and fraudsters, hosted by award-winning journalist, Alzo Slade. I've also worked on podcasts for Sony Music, The Wall Street Journal, Audioboom, G/O Media's Lifehacker, Wondery with the LA Times, and Slate Studios.

In 2017 I went to the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies in Portland, Maine and have been making audio stories ever since. Some of my favorite projects I've worked on include: making a home on the moon, a woman surviving a tsunami, and St. Vincent interviewing up-and-coming artists in the shower.
