State of the Human
State of the Human, the radio show of the Stanford Storytelling Project, shares stories that deepen our understanding of single, common human experiences—belonging, giving, lying, forgiveness—all drawn from the experiences and research of the Stanford community.
As a student producer, I created show scripts and narration, interviewed and recorded interesting people, narrated show scripts, and edited and scored the audio.
Crossings (2017)
We hear a lot about immigrants. In this episode, we hear from immigrants – not as statistics, but as individual human beings crossing borders. Oscar gets deported and tries to return home. Maddie comes to terms with her family relationships. Nisrin enters the U.S. from Sudan after the first travel ban takes effect. In this episode, stories of crossing. This is part one of a two part series.
I hosted this episode.

I scripted, recorded, narrated, and scored this story.
