I'm Executive Producer of Audio at Vox Media.

I publish the women-of-color-centered newsletter Talk Story. (You should subscribe! Everyone's invited.)

I'm a mentor for the Third Coast International Audio Festival's Radio Residency.

Previously:

I was Senior Producer / Digital at Marketplace, the most widely broadcast business/economic program in the U.S.

Before that, I led digital strategy for the Peabody Award-winning independent producer Youth Radio. In past roles there as News Director and Senior Producer, I produced narrative stories with young reporters and was a co-developer of the music podcast hub AllDayPlay.fm and the tech culture site Turnstyle News.

For more than a decade, I edited breaking news at San Francisco's CBS Radio affiliate.

I got my start in radio as producer of the seminal hip hop public affairs show, "Street Knowledge," on KMEL FM.
