About Kimberly
Midwest-born, Brooklyn-based audio and video producer with experience working on both interview & narrative podcasts and additional experience in working with a team to develop and produce a brand-new show from scratch. Background in clinical mental health counseling and education inform my approach to storytelling, communication, organization, and working with a team. Additional background in music provides an excellent ear for audio, editing, scoring, and sound design.
I am currently pursuing an MFA in Integrated Media Arts at Hunter College, CUNY, and recently completed the competitive Made in NY Podcast Certificate Program sponsored by the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment.
I have additional interest and experience in fiction screenwriting for film & TV, and hold dual citizenship for the US and the UK.
