I’m an award-winning podcast producer, writer and editor currently based in Providence, Rhode Island.

I’ve been the Daily Editor at The Public’s Radio here since 2022, where I edit two weekly shows: arts podcast Artscape and newsmagazine The Weekly Catch. I received two 2023 PMJA awards for my work: first place for Multi-Media Presentation, and second place for Short Documentary, for editing and co-production of “The Secret of Chiqui Versace" — the story of a Rhode Island resident who came to the U.S. at 16 looking for work and hoping to support his family back in Colombia.

From 2015-2020 I hosted and produced The Archives podcast at the Old Town School of Folk Music, where in 2017 I conducted an oral history of the school in partnership with StoryCorps. In 2021 I launched the “Our Stories, Our World” podcast at Public Narrative. I’ve done podcast editing, production, and consulted on podcast development. I’ve also led workshops and spoken about podcasting at colleges, worked as an arts writer for Northampton’s Daily Hampshire Gazette, and crafted ethnography-based theater as a company member of Albany Park Theater Project.

A lifelong musician, I currently sing and play guitar and fiddle with old-time string band Prairie State Ramblers. Past music projects include vocal duo Spitzer & Mareva, and grunge-pop trio Courtney. In 2019, 2020 and 2021 I studied traditional fiddle tunes and songs of Illinois with Genevieve Koester, funded by grants from the Illinois Arts Council Agency’s Master-Apprentice Program. I’m a co-founder of the Midwest Sing & Stomp and Maypole Folk Festival, and I produced concerts, dances and festivals in Chicago for years with the Old Lazarus’ Harp folk collective.

I hold a B.A. in American Studies from Smith College, where I spent three years as a host and deejay for WOZQ.
