About Katherine
I'm open to a variety of opportunities. I've done reporting in the field and remotely, I've worked in Pro Tools, Adobe Audition, and Descript, and I have extensive research experience. Most recently, I worked for the Freakonomics Radio Network, where I lead-produced the weekly show No Stupid Questions while my colleague was on parental leave. In addition, I solo-produced an in-depth episode of Freakonomics Radio, and I assisted other producers with research and fact-checking. Prior to Freakonomics, I spent a summer as a local reporter and newscast host for a small public radio station in Alaska. I'm a graduate of the Salt Institute for Documentary studies, and my undergraduate background is in sociology and creative writing. I also spent a year in South Korea on a Fulbright scholarship. What captures my attention most are timely, narrative stories that reveal something new about our society. I love getting to know others working in the audio industry, so please don't hesitate to reach out!

In the wake of the Roe vs. Wade reversal, abortion remains legal in Alaska and is protected by the state constitution’s right to privacy. But, that doesn’t mean it’s available across the state. In Bristol Bay, patients seeking abortions have always faced obstacles to care.

In the summer, hordes of salmon travel thousands of miles from the ocean to fill the streams and creeks around Lake Aleknagik. These waterways are an important part of the salmon life cycle, where adult fish come to spawn and then die. Each year, researchers from the University of Washington’s Alaska Salmon Program follow them upstream to survey the number of salmon that reach these spawning grounds.
