HELLO, MY NAME IS

About Me
I am an independent podcast producer based in New York and Tirana, with a rich experience of over 10 years in audio production.
In my work I look to combine the best of story and sound design.
I’m a freelance audio producer for narrative long form podcasts with a focus in history.
I reported and produced the Sports Explains the World episode The Skullman Cometh all about an unlikely story involving Lithuanian basketball, an iconic T-shirt and the Grateful Dead. I was also a producer for season 7 of Slate’s award-winning Slow Burn series. I’ve worked on shows for Audible, Spotify, Slate and more.
I have also worked as an Oral Historian for the Coney Island History Project.
I’m a graduate of Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications with a degree in Television-Radio-Film and Russian Language. I also completed the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies graduate certificate program at the Maine College of Art.

What I Do
I guide the podcast production process from concept through release.
Research
I provide research that shapes each episode, providing compelling topics, fact-checking details, and developing comprehensive interview prep that helps hosts tell accurate, engaging stories.
Project Management
I keep everything moving, organizing timelines, coordinating people, and making sure each episode stays on track from idea to release, without things getting stressful or messy.
Audio Production
I handle the audio side from start to finish, recording clean sessions, editing for clarity and flow, and adding sound design that makes each episode feel polished and immersive.
