About Anna
I'm a New York-based freelance audio producer, journalist and translator. I'm the co-host and lead producer of Bot Love, a series with Radiotopia Presents, and I've worked on a number of Spanish- and English-language shows around food, culture and politics. I'm currently a producer with the iDeas Lab at the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics, and I'm always open for new audio opportunities!
Anna's Portfolio
Research and production for two seasons of "Legado," Spanish-language podcast series with Spotify Colombia on Afro-Latin American artists, activists, and historical figures. LEGADO es una serie audio-documental original de Spotify, conducida por la periodista colombiana Mabel Lara, que conecta a las nuevas voces afrodescendientes con la historia de nuestros pueblos en América Latina y el Caribe contando las luchas motivadas por discriminación, derechos, la igualdad y la justicia.
Wrote and produced radio stories for HRN’s flagship podcast, Meat & Three, focusing on themes of immigration, indigeneity and queerness.
Developed and produced Spanish-language podcast, Buenlimón, including episodes on immigrant workers, food sovereignty, and mental health.
I'm the lead producer and co-host of Bot Love, a limited podcast series about the expansion of private sector AI technology into mental healthcare, and the people who develop relationships with AI chatbots.
