I’m currently working freelance as a producer and podcast consultant, lending my industry experience to up-and-coming podcasters to help them create meaningful and engaging content. 

My passion for this work began during my time on the Spotify Editorial team, when I was co-managing their External Submissions initiative. I listened to hours and hours of episodes and trailers that were pitched to us from creators who hoped to have their work featured on our Spotify pages. I loved it, but I wanted more.

I didn’t want to be a helpless judge, I wanted to do something: to bring my notes to creators and work with them to make their shows shine.

As a consultant and producer, I help podcast creators develop a unique structure and style that will help their shows stand out in the crowd.

Have an existing show or concept that needs a little love? Not sure how to give your episodes and seasons the structure they need to jump to the top of the charts? That’s what I’m here for!

Currently working on It’s All in the Hair, coming Spring 2024.

During my first role with Spotify Podcasts in 2021, I had the opportunity to assist the SoundUp production team on the launch of FOGO, a Spotify Original Podcast.

Working with the FOGO team gave me a peek behind the scenes of a high-budget production. I got a glimpse of every part of the editing process: story development, scriptwriting, recording, tape editing, contract executions— you name it.

Some of my responsibilities included: tracking EP notes and sharing them with writers and producers, providing edits to scripts and tape drafts, supporting production schedules and deadlines.
