I work to make our reporting come alive through audio, connecting our listeners directly with our reporters and their stories. As a producer for “Reporter Reads,” I transform my interviews with reporters into immersive adaptations of their work. These segments can be insightful or provocative — sometimes even joyous or experimental. But most of all, they’re deeply personal. At its core, my job is to highlight the people at the center of our journalism.
I joined The Times in 2021. Before that, I produced, reported and hosted podcasts at The Intercept and WNYC. I graduated from Colby College and the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY.
As a Times journalist, I share the values and adhere to the standards of integrity outlined in The Times’s Ethical Journalism Handbook.
