Archival sourcing for the history podcasts LBJ and the Great Society and Nixon at War. Worked from scripts and specific moments in history, then searched oral history archives for the exact audio to match. Hours in the archive for a single usable bite.
Role — Researcher
I’ve worked with large organizations with strict style guides and new companies with no established voice yet. I can write, edit video, and run interviews — but the real job is finding the hook people connect to. Harvard history grad. Amateur potter. Boston is home.
