I partner with communities to uncover the ignored or misrepresented stories by listening and letting communities help identify and shape a narrative. My work brings new voices, sounds, and an authentic sense of place to our coverage of the Kansas City region. My goal is to tell stories on the radio, online, on social media and through face to face conversations that enhance civic dialogue and provide solutions. I have been a producer with NPR in Washington, D.C., and a national NPR reporter covering the Midwest. Currently, I'm a community engagement reporter and producer at KCUR.
