podcast producer

I’m a Producer at Pineapple Street Studios where I was one of the founding producers of The 11th (2022 ASME, 2023 Webby award winner). Producer of Classy with Jonathan Menjivar (Featured as one of the best podcasts of 2023 by The New Yorker, Vogue, The Atlantic, Time, CBC, Lifehacker, Apple, and my mom). I also wrote, produced and directed my first fiction piece in the anthology series, You Feeling This? I am currently producing Million Dollar Advice in partnership with Audacy and Amy Poehler’s Paper Kite Productions.

In 2018 I became Stitcher Network’s first Breakthrough Fellow and went on to produce Just Between Us, Bad With Money, The Marvels, LeVar Burton Reads (2020 FIYAH Magazine Ignyte award winner), Dead Ass with Khadeen and Devale Ellis (2020 Webby award winner), Porsha4Real and The Suga with Tika Sumpter and Thai Randolph (2021 Gracie award winner).

I care about telling healing, engaging, and meaningful stories. My vision is to produce impactful high quality audio stories that help us think about our shared humanity through the lens of class. I’m passionate about working creatively and collaboratively to elevate broadly shared, yet underrepresented life experiences through audio. My goal in this work is to use my skills to empower people to be more thoughtful about the stories they put out into the world.
