ABOUT
Hello...
I am an audio producer and reporter with a background in multimedia journalism, holding both a Bachelor’s and an accelerated Master’s degree from Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism & Mass Communication.
My roots in audio journalism date back to 2014, where engaging with communities as a radio reporter through fieldwork and live interviews clarified my career focus. Since then, I’ve worked on radio programs, podcasts, and documentaries across the U.S. and abroad, honing my craft in newsrooms like The Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and The Arizona Republic.
While producing daily news, weekly programs and serialized narratives, I’ve witnessed how rigorous, ethical reporting delivered as an immersive audio experience can unlock empathy in ways few other mediums can. Today's world is often fragmented and chaotic, but I believe intentional, sound-rich audio journalism cuts through the noise and amplifies the nuances shaping people's lives and decisions.
Through my work, I aim to highlight overlooked perspectives and encourage thoughtful, informed dialogue, ultimately providing listeners with a deeper understanding and renewed curiosity in the world we share.
