About

Experienced and seasoned multimedia producer with a passion for taking existing programming and redesigning it for a new generation of listeners. I believe that the secret to a show's success is evolution with intention, and for ten years I have steered key NPR programming towards a future with larger, more diverse audiences. I am a master at developing workflows that are efficient for production and maximize creative potential. I took NPR's flagship radio show, Morning Edition, and created NPR's top performing podcast, Up First. I took the NPR Politics Podcast from a weekly program to a daily program. And I was recruited to re-launched NPR's culture news show, It's Been A Minute, with a brand new host. In every position I've held I've increased listenership and reached more diverse audiences. Let's geek out together over production timelines and what is or isn't a corny sound effect :)
