Journalist, Vocalist + Podcast Host

Welcome.

I’m a journalist, vocalist, and the host of Making Stuff—a podcast about people who make something out of nothing.

My work focuses on arts, culture, and creative entrepreneurship, with an emphasis on narrative profiles and multimedia storytelling. My bylines have appeared on NPR, WAMU, The Washington Post, Grammy.com, Washington City Paper, and other outlets.

As a Wammie Award–winning vocalist and songwriter, I regularly perform in multiple genres (folk, jazz, pop, rock) as well as provide studio session vocals and original music for a range of creative projects. Making music has given me a deep appreciation for craft, process, and the long arc of building something from scratch—an interest that also shapes my reporting and podcast work.

I’ve hosted three podcasts, including Making Stuff, which launches later this year and features conversations with entrepreneurs, artists, and makers about what it really takes to start from nothing and make something last.
