With every decision, I advocate for the listener—helping clients align business goals with audience needs. I’m known as a client whisperer, talent coach, and idea generator. With twenty years of audio and digital storytelling experience, I push teams past creative boundaries with confidence. I uncover narrative structures in tape, write sharp copy, build robust interview preps, and bring keen eyes and ears to audio and video editing. I riff easily, enjoy dancing with tape, and give feedback that’s picky, specific, and kind. I create effective social content for podcast promotion, translate metrics into actionable insights, and know how to stretch a marketing spend. I value deadlines, build clean production schedules, and excel at wooing both guests and future clients.
