Audio & Digital Media Production Portfolio

In 2014, during my senior year of high school, I became obsessed with podcasts (I was on the “Serial” bandwagon). When I finally had access to production software in the computer lab at Barnard College, I began experimenting with the Adobe Suite and taught myself how to edit, mix, score, and engineer audio and video. I created soundscapes of spaceships, made silly audiograms for my friends, and sound designed the musical theater society’s production of Sunday in the Park with George, all while dreaming of producing narrative digital media stories for news outlets and organizations. In 2018, I interned at Radiolab, where I learned how to cut audio selects on Pro Tools, pitch stories that really matter, and follow my curiosity, wherever it may lead. Since then, my work has been featured in NPR, FiveThirtyEight, and Gimlet, and I’ve been lucky enough to learn from some of the most talented and generous producers, editors, and writers in the world. While I’ve been focusing my storytelling and communication work on writing novels for children for the past few years, my first love will always be audio and digital media production, and I am eager to return to this world. With a background in science and writing for young audiences, I love to make complex historical, political, and science topics accessible through engaging audiovisual and written narratives. Have a look around!

This is my first personal essay that aired on NPR. You can listen to the story here.

FiveThirtyEight Politics Podcast: The Primaries Project

From May to December 2019, I produced, engineered, mixed, and scored a three-episode audio documentary series on the US primary system for FiveThirtyEight.

(the FiveThirtyEight website no longer works, but the series was released beginning on January 9, 2020, and can be found on the podcast app of your choice. I was able to find a link to episode two on ESPN, so that one is available to listen on browser.)

FiveThirtyEight PODCAST-19

In April 2020, I helped to launch FiveThirtyEight’s coronavirus podcast, PODCAST-19, and was the sole producer on the show.

Invisibilia: “Kraftland”

I produced this episode from the initial host tracking to scoring/sound design in Pro Tools. I loved bringing Meghan Keane’s beautiful story to life!

Not Past It: “Nazi Battle to Pop Musical”

I produced, pitched, mixed, and reported this episode, and came up with the concept of the “historical domino effect” episodes that are now a mainstay of the podcast “Not Past It.”

Invisibilia: “Leave a Message”

I produced this episode in Summer 2018 as an intern at Invisibilia.

Episode description: In this story, comedian Cord Jefferson tells a heartfelt personal story and offers up some illuminating science about the power of the human voice.
