Hello! I bring 10+ years experience in community radio, notably as the Music Director at the esteemed WFMU, where I took this legacy avant-garde station and breathed new life into it by redefining its curatorial style and creating brand new partnerships. I changed the way it was managed all while curating incredible music that expanded the reach of its community.
I’m also a sound designer with extensive experience in audio editing, field recording, mixing & mastering, dialogue editing, and radio arts. My own sound artworks focus on personal, jagged, immersive soundscapes that blur the line between documentary, music, sound collage, found sound, and field recording. In 2022, I made a twenty-two hour radio piece for Radio Art Zone, a project by Radio ARA and Mobile Radio for the European Capital of Culture. The piece was called Ceremonies for a Commuter, and played on the idea of a soundwalk. Ceremonies utilized the acts of recording and walking as methods to interrogate feelings of loneliness and solitude. I am driven by a curiosity about loneliness. I have explored it in my work through questions of gender, race, age, and class, often drawing from my own lived experience. These intersections of identity offer a critical framework for my experimentation. I’ve tackled this not only in my artwork, but also in my professional life, where I prioritize mentorship and opportunities to advance emerging voices into the field.
On the radio, I host a weekly show entitled “Radio Ravioli,” where have featured numerous guests for live performances and interviews. Guests include: Kelly Moran, Time Wharp, Salami Rose Joe Louis, Kalia Vandever, MIZU, Nabil Ayers, Kate NV, Rahill, Linda Smith, JWords, Mira Cook, Crosslegged, Jill Kroesen, June McDoom, Attia Taylor, Kot Kot, Karina Gill, Robin Hatch, Sally Decker, Colleen, IKOQWE, Lyra Pramuk, Rena Anakwe, Angel Bat Dawid, Ana Roxanne, Stuart Hyatt, C.
