I am an audio journalist interested in the psychology of political transformation. What makes people change their political views? Why do people radicalize? How does the way people experience politically charged moments change their lives and the societies they live in? These are all questions I am constantly exploring.Currently, I'm a producer for the Enterprise Storytelling Unit at NPR. My work involves working on every facet of the editorial process, from writing and reporting to editing, finding guests, and fact checking. I work primarily with Embedded, NPR's home for documentary podcast series. From time to time, I also produce stories for Up First, NPR's critically acclaimed news podcast. Previously, I have worked on award-winning stories for NPR's podcasts Invisibilia and Rough Translation.Before NPR, I was a producer at Dustlight Productions. I senior produced the ten-part Crooked Media series Mother Country Radicals, which won the 2024 Dupont-Columbia award as well as the 2022 Signal Award and the non-fiction podcast award at Tribeca Film Festival. Before that, I produced the Webby award-winning second season of the podcast Tell Them, I Am. I also worked on Webby-winning Hello, Nature, an audio documentary about belonging and the United States' national parks.I'm an alumna of Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism where I serve as an adjunct professor. In my free time, I train for marathons and take Farsi lessons.
