Radio
In college I fell in love with radio while working for WBRU. I worked at WDRE, WNEW, MTV Radio Network and joined the NPR family in 2007.
Currently I host the public radio show WNYC’s ALL OF IT with ALISON STEWART.

I began my career at MTV NEWS where I won a Peabody Award for our political coverage “Choose or Lose.”
Over the next two decades, I reported for CBS News, ABC News, MSNBC/NBC News, and PBS Newshour.

As a moderator, I love engaging with a live audience. I work with The Atlantic, host the book club GET LIT with the NYPL, and frequently moderate panels at 92Y, The Connecticut Forum, The Moth, and Symphony Space.
