I’m a narrative journalist specializing in longform audio storytelling.
For two decades, I’ve traveled up and down California and around Latin America to tell stories with words and sounds. I’m now reporting, editing and producing podcasts out of the San Francisco Bay Area.
My audio and text stories regularly appear on KQED’s Bay Curious podcast.
As a 2025 award recipient from The Greater Good Science Center, I’m currently producing a series about how communities recovery from mass tragedies for NPR, KQED, and Wondery’s This Is Actually Happening podcast.
I also produce audio and print stories about the history of craft as senior editor for Craftsmanship Magazine, for which I host “The Secrets of Mastery” podcast series.
Before becoming a public radio editor and producing podcasts, I was an award-winning health care reporter for Capital Public Radio in Sacramento, Kaiser Health News and CalMatters. I’ve won multiple regional Edward R. Murrow awards, national recognition from the Society of Professional Journalists and a first-place prize from the Association of Health Care Journalists.
My stories about schools, wildfire recovery and religion have been broadcast nationally and my bylines have appeared on NPR.org, WashingtonPost.com, The Los Angeles Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, Daily Beast, CNN.com, and Scientific American, among many others.

I have a master’s degree in journalism from U.C. Berkeley, and am currently pursuing a second graduate degree in history at San Francisco State University.
