I am a lifelong teller of stories and maker of stuff — a “life long creative” if you’re feeling fancy. I have 14+ years of professional experience in mission-driven media and arts, and decades of experience in creative digital community spaces. For the past decade I have worked at Complexly as a Producer, Editor, Director, Host, and for a few years now, Executive Producer.

Currently: I work with the best and brightest science communicators around as the Executive Producer of SciShow and its many brands — SciShow TikTok, SciShow Tangents, SciShow Kids. Not only does this team make well researched, gorgeous videos every single day, we’re also constantly find new ways to reach people. Last year we worked on longform videos on the future of telescopes, how an ancient shipwreck may explain the universe, and the great chimpanzee war. We also welcomed our first ever SciShow Resident, broadening our reach and expanding the field of science communication in the process.

Previously: I was the EP of many other wonderful shows: PBS Eons (+ TikTok & podcast), Journey to the Microcosmos, Ours Poetica, and Bizarre Beasts. Before that I was a producer on Crash Course, helping to teach millions of people around the world everything from astronomy and engineering to philosophy and sociology – which I also hosted! I have created a wide range of special projects at Complexly, like our bi-annual How To Vote In Every State series (expanded in 2020 to include a Voter Guide for first time voters & a guide to activism beyond the ballot box); The People v., an award-winning collaboration with ITVS on prison reform; and two shows for our first ever pilot series, History Pop and Hashed Out. I’ve also won a couple Webby awards along the way, which is pretty neat.

Outside of my 9-5, I co-founded the media criticism site Snark Squad, where I co-produce, co-host, and edit its podcasts Snark Squad Pod & Cooler Than Homework.

When I am not at a computer, I am probably collecting a new hobby. I have finished five marathons over the years (not very quickly, but I subscribe to the “finish and don’t die” marathon agenda).

I spent the early days of the pandemic teaching myself to sew. I am slowly replacing my entire wardrobe with outfits I made myself because the only thing better than “thanks, it has pockets” is “thanks, I made it (and it has pockets).”

Of all my hobbies and side quests, the one I am perhaps most proud of is my private pilot’s license. After years of thinking about it, I finally did it in 2023. Only ask me about this if you have time to kill  because I have a lot of feelings about how incredibly cool it is that humans have figured out how to put ourselves in the sky. That kind of creativity and collaboration leads to the best stories of all.
