I'm available for part-time production or editing work and tape syncs. After three years as an audio storytelling instructor at Indiana University's Media School I am accustomed to and enjoy working on stories with producers of all levels from the concept stage to final script edits. Helping a student or client realize their vision for a story is a particular joy. My work as a home visiting nurse makes me especially skilled at helping my clients clarify and execute their goals with empathy, warmth and professionalism while respecting their unique voice.If you need help with Tape Syncs in central Indiana, I'm your man. Transom's own Rob Rosenthal taught me how to get the best sound for your project. I've done tape syncs for This American Life, The Sporkful, Campside Media, and others.

About Amy
Amy's Portfolio
Mother is a thirteen episode podcast which explores concepts of origin, creation and identity. In one episode, incarcerated mothers share their mothering manifestos after hosts Amy and Anne discuss the birth of the Italian Futurist movement via manifesto by fascist, F.T. Marinetti. In another episode, guest producer Skyler Swenson tells the story of a Korean American adoptee who becomes a Nurse Midwife after learning her biological mother gave birth alone. That story is followed by a summary of the social realities, laws and financial incentives that led to mass adoption of Korean children by American families in the 1980s. In the final episode, Meg Crane details how she conceptualized, designed and marketed the first home pregnancy test and never got full credit. While each episode is unique, the project doesn't flinch as it tells riveting stories that pull universal human threads.
