My background is in both producing and training media. I started at WGBH-Boston working in television and then added public radio to my experience. I've been a mentor/trainer for NPR's Next Generation Radio projects for 10 years - specializing in audio recording and mixing. Through that program I became a mentor for the Native American Journalists Association student projects. I'm currently a freelance Broadcast Engineer for KQED-Radio in San Francisco.
