My Work

I received a master’s in media studies from The New School in May 2022. While there, I focused on documentary film and media as tools for social change, particularly in relation to the climate crisis. 

Since then, I have worked as an archival associate producer, post-production coordinator, and researcher on a number of documentary film and television projects. Some that have been released include the six-part docuseries Taylor Swift: The End of An Era on Disney+, The New Yorker at 100 on Netflix, Octopus! on Prime, the NBC documentary Between Life & Death: Terri Schiavo’s Story, and the HBO docuseries Last Call, about a string of anti-gay murders in New York. Check out my IMDb and connect with me on LinkedIn for a more up-to-date list.

I co-hosted over eighty episodes of a climate storytelling podcast called World Is Burning with my friend Elise Nye. I have worked as a research assistant for The New School Archives as well as for Trace Material: Stories from the Plastics Age, a podcast from Parsons Healthy Materials Lab exploring the social history of plastic.

I am a returned youth development volunteer following the evacuation of the Peace Corps from Morocco in March 2020. 

I was script & deliverables coordinator on season two of Pickler & Ben. I’ve been a cast/production assistant on several projects, most notably I Care A Lot in Boston, Larry King Now in Los Angeles, and CMT Crossroads in Nashville. Before that, I was on the pitch team at Streaming Promotions, a music digital strategy company based in Nashville.

I graduated from Belmont University in May 2017 with a B.B.A. in Music Business and a minor in Writing. Prior to that I was a salad girl in an Italian restaurant for three years. I will never fully escape the service industry and as such, always tip above 20%.
