I've been working on podcasts since 2013. In 2023, I was co-nominated for Best Editing at New Jersey WebFest for my work on the How It Ends podcast, which itself won the Outstanding Mystery award. In addition to my work on How it Ends, I have also worked on the Betwixt & Between, Keeping Track, Primary Tourist, and ecoTalk podcasts.

If you have a podcast (or want to start one), and would like to hire me to edit or do other technical work on it, then let me know! You can find more information, including my rates, here.
