Journalist, Musician + Podcast Host

Welcome!

I’m a D.C.-based journalist, vocalist, writer and podcast host with a passion for storytelling.

As a culture reporter covering arts, education, work and the local economy, my bylines have appeared on NPR, WAMU, The Washington Post, The 51st, Washington City Paper, Arlington Magazine and BmoreArt. My writing also includes short stories, screenplays and poetry.

I’m also a vocalist and songwriter performing jazz, pop, rock and Americana music. My pop project, Gemma Sky, releases its debut album in March 2026, but my pop roots date back to competing on NBC’s “The Sing-Off” in 2011 (as well as a childhood drenched in Madonna).

I love interviewing people and have hosted three podcasts, including Making Stuff, launching this spring. The show features conversations with entrepreneurs, artists, and makers about exactly what it takes to build something out of nothing.
