About

Hi!

I'm an audio producer, arts administrator and educator from Tkaronto (Toronto). My audio documentaries have aired on Signal Hill, Between the Ears, Lights Out, Short Cuts, The Doc Project, Love Me, Ideas, and beyond. My podcast, Shocking, Heartbreaking, Transformative from Radiotopia Presents, was named one of the Best Podcasts of 2024 by the New York Times.

In the past few years, I’ve worked with Pushkin Industries as a producer for TED Health, The Happiness Lab and The TED Interview. Previously, I was a producer at Transmitter, where I worked on shows including The Greatness with Kareem Maddox and Am I Normal? with TED and Who Is Queen? with the MoMA. Before that, I made radio and podcasts with the CBC, where I produced shows including Personal Best and Mic Drop.

I recently served as the program coordinator of Hunter College’s Integrated Media Arts MFA program, and ran audio programming at the Paley Center for Media. I have worked as a lecturer in film and media studies at Pratt Institute, Hunter College, and Marymount Manhattan College.

I’m the co-founder of the independent audio collective Constellations and the sound-based performance variety show, wav.pool.
