As Producer at the GBH News desk, I worked closely with the Managing Director, Executive Editor, and production teams of NPR's Morning Edition and All Things Considered to craft the sound of the station during drive-times. I collaborated with radio's partners in public television to develop distinctive content for 89.7, including the science series NOVA and Greater Boston. I pioneered the development of the first public radio podcast as Associate Producer for GBH's Morning Stories. Morning Stories was included in the July 2005 launch of Apple's Podcast directory in iTunes.I also produced the Boston portion of NPR's Toast of the Nation broadcast on New Year's Eve, the annual live, 6-hour broadcast from the Lowell (Massachusetts) Folk Festival, and over 50 live music performances from the GBH studios.
