ALL About ME…

I am a freelance narrative series producer, documentary maker and investigative journalist. I am currently based in London, though I grew up in Kansas (there’s no place like home) and spent a long time in Paris.

So far, I’ve made six narrative audio series, including Gay Girl Gone, an investigative series for the CBC that just dropped in November 2023. My five previous audio series were with The Times of London.

I’ve also made audio documentaries for BBC Radio 4 and Tortoise, on topics ranging from how elderly poets write about death and aging to how the abortion issue is playing out in South Bend, Indiana.

In 2020, I helped launch Stories of Our Times, a narrative daily podcast for The Times of London and the Sunday Times. Voices of New York, a piece that I pitched and produced, was cited in a nomination for a Press Gazette Award. Before that, I was on the launch team for Today in Focus, The Guardian’s daily narrative news podcast.

I have also reported and produced extensively for PRI’s The World as well as the BBC World Service, the CBC, The Christian Science Monitor and others. My story on three girls who escaped the night Boko Haram attacked Chibok’s girls school was cited by The Atlantic as some of the best reporting on education. My story on Fortuné, a young boy in the Central African Republic with big dreams and a small spaghetti stand, and the follow-up I did a year later are PRI audience favorites.

In 2016 and 2017, I traveled to the Central African Republic to report with a fellowship from the International Women's Media Foundation (IWMF). 

I studied journalism at the University of Kansas and honed my skills at the Transom Storytelling Workshop.

I love all stories, but my passion is reporting on young people, especially in terms of resilience and trauma. I love talking to kids with big, bold dreams.
