Writer / Radio Producer
Current
Halcyon Productions
I've produced features for various public radio outlets, including Nashville Public Radio, NPR's Only a Game, Marketplace, and NPR's Weekend Edition. I enjoy exploring a wide range of topics, from sports and music to social issues & nonprofits, small business, and aviation.I've written short and long features and personal essays for both local and national publications, including Fast Company, the New York Times, and United Airlines Hemispheres magazines.In 2007, I finished co-translating and editing a memoir by a Russian combat airwoman of WWII, called "Red Sky, Black Death: A Soviet Woman Pilot's Memoir of the Eastern Front." Slavica Publishers released the book in March of 2009, and since then I've spoken about the story at the Nashville chapter of the National Women's Book Association, several Women in Aviation International conferences, Emory University, and the United States Air Force Academy. Smithsonian Air & Space printed an excerpt of the book, and reviews appeared in "Russian Life" and "Aviation History" magazines in 2009.Currently, I'm managing editor of Pursuit Magazine, a journal for professional investigators, and I'm working on a ghostwriting project.
