About Myself:
I’ve worked as a freelance public radio reporter for the last eight years. I began my career in New York City reporting from many of that city’s immigrant communities. Those stories aired on the local NPR affiliate WNYC and print versions ran in the newspaper New York Newsday. In 2003 I became a regular contributor to the radio business program Marketplace and have covered topics from Sarbanes-Oxley reforms to a rash of farm worker deaths from heatstroke. Since moving to California in 2005, my stories have aired on KQED’s The California Report and the NPR news magazines Morning Edition, Latino USA and Day to Day. I won a 2009 L.A. Press Club National Entertainment Journalism Award for a Marketplace feature on Disney’s marketing to young girls. Before working in public radio, I was pursuing a graduate degree in Anthropology at New York University.
