Objective
I'm a freelance audio journalist and writer with over a decade of experience working with broadcast and digital media outlets, including Vox, Al Jazeera, and The Smithsonian. I cover international news, migration, and psychedelics, with a focus on underrepresented voices and overlooked histories.Whether I’m digging through archival audio or gathering oral histories, I’m drawn to stories that connect the dots between policy and lived experience, and shed light on how the past shapes the present. I know how to conceive and lead complex, emotionally resonant projects from start to finish, and I thrive on collaboration.
