What's it like to vote without privacy? 

I made this project in with my classmate Cullen Fagan in fall, 2024, who voiced the piece. I served as executive producer and was involved in all aspects of production — attending all interviews, writing and revising the script, research and fact-checking, and sound design. I used some music from blue dot sessions and some original music that I composed on garage band.

The first time Kathy Collins voted in person, she had to tell someone else who she was voting for. We tend to take privacy for granted when it comes to voting—but for many disabled Americans, that hasn't ever been the case. Join us for the lead up to election day 2024 as we talk to Kathy and Dr. Sharon McLennon Wier about what it’s like to vote without privacy in New York – and what activists are doing about it.

Another Agenda

This is an audio documentary that I made in spring, 2024. It built on reporting from my undergraduate thesis to explore how infrastructural negligence led to the death of a firefighter. This is but a fraction of massive story that has loomed large over my life for many years, and which is not yet in its final form. It's probably a bad look to criticize my work on my website but I feel like this piece must be presented with a few caveats. In the time between making this story and now, my skills as a producer and sound designer have improved tremendously. But I include it here as an example of the depth of reporting I am able to do. I did not take this piece lightly. I also had to pack a lot into a short piece so its a little crowded, and I'm aware that it needs some spacing out. That being said, it was a heavy lift and I'm proud of what I was able to accomplish. The making of this piece was overseen by Veralyn Williams.

When firefighter Jared Lloyd lost his life in a gruesome apartment fire, it raised questions about housing safety and unchecked development in the Town of Ramapo. Here’s a closer look at the politics of code enforcement and a culture war between a powerful Hasidic community and their secular neighbors. What happens when unsafe conditions turn fatal?

Miscellanious

Here is a selection of bits and pieces from here and there that I have made over the years. 

Subway Salon - This is a 2-minute piece that my friend Perry Gregory and I made together for Silver Sound's biannual "Sonic Dash" in January 2025. The prompt was You've gotta be kidding me. We didn't win but we had a lot of fun making it and I think it's pretty cute. Original music by me.
Bushwick Harvest - This is another 2-minute piece that Perry and I made together for Columbia Journalism School's Radio Race competition in April 2025. The theme was Rebirth, and they stipulated that you needed to mention one landmark in the city. We didn't win this one either but I think it's really funny and good.
I made this piece for my introductory audio class in in fall, 2023. At the time, I was covering Borough Park—one of the religious neighborhoods in New York City—and made this piece about a prayer gathering of over 10,000 people. Armed with a microphone and donning a lovely ankle-length skirt, I made my way into one of the the largest mass prayer events in the country to learn about differing views on zionism within the religious community. 
This piece was also made for my introduction to audio class in fall, 2023. We were given an hour to gather sound from somewhere nearby our school and I made a b-line for my favorite public bathroom. I spent years working at the Bryant Park Holiday market selling candles, so it held a special place in my heart.
I made this piece about cicadas in 2021 when I was a fellow at the Heritage Radio Network. It's also about being 15-years-old. It's about a minutes too long but it makes me nostalgic. It begins at 2:44.

More to come....
