I am a writer, editor, and long-form conversationalist with a deep understanding of how meaning is constructed through dialogue. My background spans broadcast media, podcasting, narrative nonfiction, and authorship, which has trained me to listen for structure beneath conversation—how speakers move ideas forward, challenge assumptions, shift tone, and build narrative arcs in real time. What sets me apart is my ability to combine analytical rigor with narrative intuition. Having spent years hosting and producing long-form conversations, I instinctively recognize speaker roles, rhetorical turns, and moments of reframing or synthesis—not just at the surface level, but in how they function within the broader arc of a conversation. I’m comfortable slowing down language, examining intent, and applying structured schemas consistently without losing the nuance that makes dialogue meaningful. I am also the author of a memoir built from lived experience and reflective dialogue, which has sharpened my sensitivity to voice, subtext, and emotional pacing. That experience, combined with my professional work in transcript review, editing, and content analysis, makes me especially well-suited to qualitative annotation work that requires both precision and interpretive depth. I thrive in focused, detail-oriented research environments, value clarity and consistency in labeling systems, and enjoy collaborating with researchers to refine frameworks when patterns or ambiguities emerge. I’m drawn to this project because it treats conversation not as raw text, but as a complex narrative system—and that’s exactly how I’ve approached dialogue throughout my career.…I am a writer, editor, and long-form conversationalist with a deep understanding of how meaning is constructed through dialogue.
