ABOUT ME...

I'm an audio journalist, researcher, and WGA Award-nominated writer at Slate Magazine. Currently, I'm a producer for our daily news podcast, What Next. Before that, I was an assistant producer on our show, One Year, all about the people and struggles that shaped a single year in American history. Our first season on 1977 was recognized by the New York Times as one of the top 10 podcasts of 2021.

​

In 2020, I was a production assistant for the fourth season of our history podcast Slow Burn, covering the mainstream political rise of David Duke. Our season was recognized by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities with the inaugural Best in Digital Humanities award. I also write about culture, science, and LGBTQ life for Slate.com.

​

Prior to joining Slate, I gained a foothold in audio and digital production as an intern for NPR's Morning Edition at NPR West and WNYC's social media team. In college, I got my journalism start at WKCR-FM New York where I hosted shows in the News & Arts departments, produced segments, and dove into the archive to write my senior history thesis on student reporters covering the 1968 strike at Columbia University.

​

In 2019, I graduated summa cum laude from Barnard College, with a degree in History and a minor in English.
