About Carrie
Hi,
I am the founding producer and host for Let's Talk!, PCC's flagship disability-related podcast, featured in the college-wide showcase on Global Accessibility Awareness Day. I approach storytelling and accessibility at the community level, focusing on human rights, science and arts, and the environment. Previously, I contributed to Bread and Roses' longstanding collective of creators. For three years, I was a show producer and host on KBOO-FM, a community radio station in Oregon. I engaged members of the artist and musician community of Portland in on-air interviews and live-engineered performances. My work is part of a five-decade-plus community radio project that teaches and promotes freedom of the airwaves. I am engaged in a four-year liberal arts program at Oregon State University for Digital Communication Arts. My material is driven by social or professional context, technical understanding, and passion for communication & accessibility. I am currently looking for work to fill support roles, either in research or content production (specifically remote audio editing), for stories that interest me and align with my goals of advocacy and justice.

(Per)Mutations is a three-episode exploration of the moveable parts of sex culture, as investigated from the perspective of somebody with mutated sex chromosomes, otherwise known as intersex. As an intersex person, it has been my experience to have sex culture projected onto me--starting with coerced sexual reassignment surgeries, manufactured hormones, and psychologically indoctrinated social roles. On my journey to liberate and understand myself, I am discovering that I share much more with those around me than separates us. When it comes to sex, what makes us who we are? The permutations of humanity in this regard are endless.
Lighthouse Lessons is the media-production arm of Lighthouse Art Collective. This community existed pre-pandemic to empower artists and neighbors to engage with each other and the greater civic arena to facilitate growth, equality, abundance, and fortitude through access to the arts. We accomplished this by offering unique programming designed to uplift, inspire, and empower youth, sexual minorities, and women and inspire them to join us in creating an alternative culture through community action and free expression.
Let’s Talk! is a podcast created by and for students at PCC. We explore culture and social justice issues from the lens of people experiencing disabilities.

NPR NextGeneration Radio was a week-long intensive internship I undertook in the fall of 2023. A mentor guided me in collaboration with a team of digital content specialists to culminate in a non-narrated short recorded piece and multimedia interview presentation. We worked inside OPB, and reported from the field to create this story.
