I’m an audio producer, editor, writer, and consultant collaborating with individuals and organizations to communicate stories through podcasting. I've worked with leading production companies and independent creators, bringing an ear for detail, pacing, and story.

Recently, I sound designed and edited Love Trapped (#1 Top Series on Apple), as well as Nevermind Media's 2004: The Year Indie Rock Broke. Previously, I produced, co-wrote, and launched A Little Green Podcast with Avocado Green Brands (Signal Award Finalist for Best Editing). I worked with Kill Rock Stars to create Girl Germs: A Podcast About Bratmobile’s Pottymouth and produced over 100 episodes of their award-winning music business podcast, The Future of What. I currently lead production for Noto Group Executive Search’s How I Hire and Oregon Humanities' The Detour.

I’m a graduate of the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies, where I focused on stories about young people in Maine who are contending with the climate crisis.

My written work has appeared in The Portland Mercury, Oregon Public Broadcasting, Bitch Media, Vortex Music Magazine, Ragan Communications, and KEXP.

I’ve spoken about audio production, freelancing, and branded podcasting at live events like Podcast Movement and PDX PodFest, and in interviews with OPB, StudioPod, Storyboard’s POPP, The Podcast Producer's Survival Handbook, and others.

I offer end-to-end podcast production, series development and distribution, interviewing, scriptwriting, recording, post-production, dialogue editing, sound design, private consultation, and other services.

“If you want to start a podcast or take your podcast to the next level, Anna is the right partner for the job! She has a deep knowledge of the entire podcast ecosystem and has a professional and organized approach to ensure the best results. She took us through the launch process, created our production cadence, and even helped with marketing strategy to grow our audience. Her attention to detail and care for quality is evident.”

- Roy Notowitz, How I Hire

Working with Anna to launch our podcast The Public Space was a stellar experience! She is the ultimate professional with great expertise, skills, and the ability to impart her knowledge effectively. She partnered with us to launch our podcast and produce three episodes and also made sure she transferred her knowledge to us so we could take our podcast forward on our own. She kept us on track with her planning, organizational, project management, and communications skills. She understood what we wanted to achieve with the podcast and helped us translate our vision into action. I highly recommend Anna for her great work – besides, she’s fun to work with!

“When our podcast producer took another job, Anna stepped in on short notice and took charge for six months while we looked for a replacement. Because of Anna’s professionalism, excellent attention to detail, and strong work ethic, the transition went flawlessly and our weekly show thrived and attracted new listeners.”

- Mac Prichard, Find Your Dream Job

“Anna is the best! She was able to quickly assimilate knowledge about an industry [the music industry] that she wasn’t an expert in when she started. I’d highly recommend her for anyone looking for a great podcast producer!”
