I’ve been a journalist, producer, and writer with more than two decades of experience telling human-centered stories. From my first newspaper job at 17 to my years as a producer at CNN and HLN, I’ve always made a point to do work that’s driven by empathetic interviews, compassionate conversations, and strong narrative storytelling.

I’ve written for print and digital. I’ve produced breaking news, television newsmagazines, a historical documentary series, and created content for agencies and brands. In 2017, I jumped into audio with The 2180, a first-person narrative series about hikers on the Appalachian Trail. It got the smallest audience of anything I’ve done, but remains my favorite work. It’s also where I leaned into what audio is capable of. It does what TV cannot: it gets to the root of everything with ease. While lights and cameras make people nervous, microphones are about comfort and good conversation.

In 2020, I wrote, produced and hosted Down The Hill, one of the most successful shows in the CNN Audio portfolio, a 2020 Apple Podcasts “best new show” selection and a Webby Honoree. In 2024 I created and co-hosted and wrote Deviant, an anthology podcast from Cold Open Media. I’ve also produced and hosted podcasts for Georgia Public Broadcasting, PodcastOne and Kast Media.
