Producer, AirTalk with Larry Mantle

What I cover

I gravitate toward conversations about the California prison system, women's health, and religion. But I also love producing segments about gardening and ghost towns.

My background

I began at LAist as an on-call producer in August 2021. Before that, I was a freelance audio producer. I reported a handful of stories for KCRW and WUNC Chapel Hill. I grew up in Providence, R.I., and have a masters in anthropology from USC.

My goals

I want to help listeners feel more connected to each other, to the communities they live in and to this remarkable place we call home — Los Angeles.
