President and CEO
I run a nonprofit organization overseeing revenue, fundraising, content development & relationships.
Career Roadmap
Upholding a Cause and Belief
Day to Day
The most important thing I do is work with people - both outside of our organization, partners, people who make content, producers who make Radiotopia shows, and people who work inside our organization, so I have to attend to career development and culture and making sure people have what they need to be successful at their jobs. I talk to many people all day. Another part of my role is to figure out how to take the mission of public media and make sure it survives another generation.
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for college students
I think the path is crooked and that’s okay. Take time and learn what you like and the patterns will ultimately emerge. Don’t stress on it when you’re young. Follow patterns of what gives you joy. Don’t think of your career in terms of job titles - think of your career in terms of what you’d like to learn.
