I'm currently an Audio Producer with the NY Times, creating content for the upcoming NY Times Audio App like:

• How do you pronounce Qatar? with Sarah Lyall
• The Art of the Celebrity Interview with Kyle Buchanan and J Wortham
• Aatish Tasser's introduction to his T Magazine article about his year of Pilgrimage.

In my spare time, I like to produce my own short stories that I occasionally post on my show, Recollector, and write about my creative projects and ideas on my newsletter, Don't Be Precious, Darling.

Previously, I've produced podcasts for:

• IDEO  - their very first narration podcast about redesigning the food system 🍽️
• GoDaddy - stories about LGBT folks and their passion projects 🌈
• The DoDo - life-saving interactions between animals and humans 🐋

As a freelance reporter for KALW, I reported on the last years of lesbian icon Phyllis Lyon that was highlighted by Slate, revisiting San Francisco's Redevelopment of the Filmore District, and the iconic activist and immigrant struggle for the I-Hotel.

Other current projects of note:

I’m documenting 50+ friends and strangers via audio messages they leave every December once a year every year for ten years with my project Message to the Future 2020-2030. It's like if Boyhood was a podcast, but for 50+ people.

I am revisiting 6x6, a project from 20 years ago where I created a social network of my own based on six degrees of separation.

A silly pun became a community fundraiser. Check out the Merylthon.
