ABOUT
“People are hungry for stories. It’s part of our very being. Storytelling is a form of history, of immortality too.”
I'm a freelance audio journalist and writer with a decade of experience working with broadcast and digital media outlets, including Vox, Al Jazeera, and The Smithsonian. I cover international news, migration, and psychedelics, with a focus on overlooked histories.
Whether I’m digging through archival audio or gathering oral histories, I’m drawn to stories that connect the dots between policy and lived experience, and shed light on how the past shapes the present. I thrive on collaboration and know how to conceive and lead complex, emotionally resonant projects from start to finish.
