audio journalism

I have worked for WNYC Studios, the atlantic, and Pushkin Industries on shows like more perfect, the experiment, revisionist history, a slight change of plans, where there’s a will: finding shakespeare, and story of the week.

My work has also aired on NPR’s all things considered, WNYC’s on the media and notes from america, On Air Fest, and In the Dark UK. I'm currently developing and seeking funding for a documentary series called more muslim, a narrative show about navigating the Muslim experience with all its messiness.
