I am a freelance journalist and audio producer.
At the moment, I’m a Visiting Scholar at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at New York University. My reporting is being supported by the Matthew Power Literary Reporting Award.
I also currently have video and audio artwork on view at Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena, California.
Most recently, I wrote and produced for KUOW and NPR’s noontime show, Soundside. I also recently produced an audio documentary about Black, avant-garde classical composers for Afropop Worldwide, a Peabody Award-winning radio show.
I’ve written scripts, scored, and produced episodes for a wide range of radio programs, narrative shows, and audio documentaries.
I received a master’s degree from Columbia Journalism School. I graduated Magna Cum Laude and earned Departmental Honors from The American University of Paris.
I speak French and love literature, art, solo-traveling, and fashion. While living in Paris, I worked as a production assistant at Maison Margiela.
