What I’m Up To

Current & recent Projects

I recently worked as an editor with Report for America journalists on a grant-funded initiative with The GroundTruth Project: Agents of Change: Community Efforts to Overcome Racial Inequities. In addition to guiding reporters across the country through the project, I produced the website. In May I conducted a workshop for the entire staff of a public media station, catalyzing momentum for the organization’s internal efforts toward belonging and inclusion.

HEADWAY Training

Headway Training relies on the best research in sociology, psychology, and neuroscience to inform their workplace culture programs. They teach employees and organizations how to engage in healthy conversations and improve teamwork. A sustainable workplace culture facilitates a productive workplace. Centering fairness and belonging, Headway helps companies and nonprofits avoid the mistakes that can prevent workplaces from becoming welcoming. They integrate evidence-based strategies into a set of actionable programs that work, centered around collaborative problem solving, communication and behavioral change.

NPR’s Next Generation Radio

Next Gen Radio is a 5-day, audio-focused, digital journalism project. Our hybrid (some people in-person, some not) program is designed to give competitively selected participants the opportunity to learn how to report and produce a non-narrated audio piece and a companion multimedia story. Those chosen for the program are paired with a professional journalist, who serves as their mentor for the week, and the chosen participant is paid a stipend for their work. I’m excited for our first Next Generation Radio project of 2025 with Oregon Public Radio.

 

Partners & Frequent Collaborators

ALR Global is an independent consultancy, but I don’t work alone. My work is founded on the philosophy that we all work better in teams, for that is how we flourish. I work on a number of initiatives regularly, and I collaborate all the time. Adding a confab on my calendar always brightens my day because that means New Initiatives Incoming.
