Higher Ground
I story edited two seasons of this climate-crisis podcast for WSHU Public Radio. The first season won a National Academies Award for Science Communication. Each season has also been adapted into a nationally distributed one-hour radio special.
Script editor
Return Game
I edited the third season of the Philly Eagles history podcast Return Game, focused on the career of legendary coach Dick Vermeil as he prepared to take his place in the Hall of Fame.
Digital projects
I was the special projects editor for the Hartford Business Journal’s inaugural Innovators Issue which published in December 2022.
In addition to managing the issue, I also wrote profiles of innovators Jonathan Rothberg, Carlos Mouta, Bill Shufelt & John Walker.
The Innovators Issue won a 2023 Editorial Excellence Award from the Alliance of Area Business Publishers:
“The beautiful, artistic cover sets the tone. Engaging leads and crisp, colorful photos highlight the diversity of the area’s innovators in the sciences, arts, business and nonprofit communities. Strong reporting ensures the profiles have depth.“
