As the producer, co-host, and business manager for my own podcast, The Teacher Think-Aloud Podcast, I have spearheaded all aspects of the podcast lifecycle, guiding the show from initial launch to a thriving audience community.

  • Coordinate recording schedule and deliver 15+ episodes per year via Spotify for Creators and YouTube.

  • Edit long-form episodes using AI-enhanced tools (e.g. Descript) and classic editing tools (e.g. Adobe Premiere Pro, Audacity), integrating closed captions and video chapters for accessibility and SEO.

  • Create and manage all social media content (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube), posting ~3x/week and leveraging short-form video and static posts to drive audience engagement.

  • Revamped podcast brand identity (colors and graphics) while maintaining recognition and continuity.

  • Drove migration from audio to video episodes by designing intro trailer, applying cohesive visual cues across frames, and integrating theme music and sponsor messaging.

  • Increased podcast subscribers 300% in a single year across YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts through strategic ad placement and brand-cohesive social media strategy.

  • Implemented a targeted SEO strategy, yielding a 260% increase in web traffic from 2024 to 2025.
