I’m an audio journalist, producer, and law student from New Jersey. I work full-time as a multimedia reporter with WHYY’s The Pulse, a nationally syndicated science and health news radio show and podcast produced by Philadelphia’s NPR affiliate station.
I’m also the host and executive producer of SERUM, an investigative podcast series from WHYY’s The Pulse and Local Trance Media.
Before the pandemic, I studied journalism at Northeastern University and interned with CNBC and NBC News. In 2018, my interests shifted toward audio journalism after my hometown’s police chief was charged with a hate crime. I spent my senior year investigating the circumstances surrounding the case. The result was Stay the F**k Out of Bordentown, an award-winning podcast series inspired by secret recordings made by the chief’s deputies that became central to the case.
You can listen to the series here. Just a heads up: it sounds like it was recorded using Garageband and produced in a small college apartment – because it was.
A year later, I worked with 100Reporters and former New York Times reporter Diana Jean Schemo to release a follow-up episode. Around then, I received a notification that the Assistant U.S. Attorney leading the case against the former chief had followed the series on Soundcloud.
