I joined KCUR in January 2022 as the first-ever Social Media and Newsletter Producer. During that time, I have elevated the look and reach of KCUR’s social media pages. I connect readers from the city, region, and the country to KCUR’s reporting. 

I work with KCUR’s own newsroom to stay ahead of what is happening in Kansas City and Kansas/Missouri at large, and I work with a wide swath of collaborators across the public media sphere. Some of those include NPR, NPR’s Midwest Newsroom, Harvest Public Media, KFF Health News, the Kansas City Star and more.

In 2024, myself and the KCUR newsroom were awarded a Regional Edward R. Murrow award for Breaking News in our newsroom’s radio, digital and social media coverage of the shooting of Ralph Yarl and subsequent arrest of Andrew Lester
