Hi! I'm an award-winning narrative journalist, audio documentarian and podcast producer.

I'm the creator, host and executive producer of Bodies, a feminist documentary podcast supported by NPR-affiliate KCRW. Each episode explores how women, trans people and genderqueer people navigate medical mysteries or health-related challenges in their lives. It combines intimate, nuanced storytelling with health journalism to uncover the layers that affect health, like racism, sexism, and capitalism. 

In 2025, Bodies was named to TIME's "100 Best Podcasts of All Time." In 2024, I won the Livingston Award for National Reporting for Bodies' episodes on early-onset puberty, postpartum psychosis and the fight for abortion training in a Post-Roe America. In 2020, Bodies won Third Coast Festival's Best Documentary Bronze Award for "Not This Again" and the Online News Association's Journalism Award for Excellence in Audio Storytelling. Bodies has received critical acclaim from HuffPost, Bello Collective, Elle, Time, The New York Review of Books, PAW and more.

I'm also a story editor and I've edited and advised lots of shows, including Articles of Interest, When We All Get to Heaven and Black Wombhood (check out "You Might Actually Be In Love With Your Best Friend, The Cut). I'm a founding member of the Rough Cut Collective, which provides honest, compassionate editorial feedback for audio stories. I got my start in podcasting in 2015 as the host and producer of The Intern. 

I love teaching and sharing my experience. I'm a mentor with the Association for Independents in Radio (AIR). I've given lectures and led workshops at MIRP, WNYC's "Werk It" Conference, Spotify's Sound Up Fellowship, PRX's Podcast Garage, AIR Media (see "Creating a Podcast Pitch Deck and Budget") and guest lectured for university journalism courses.

I have a BA in sociology from Princeton University and a certificate in writing and multimedia from the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies. Before radio, I taught English in Thailand (Princeton in Asia), 10th grade in the Bronx and adolescent health education in India.

After spending nearly a decade in New York City, I now live near the mountains in southern Poland
