In spring 2020, I was lucky to have had the opportunity to work with the team behind the Nocturnists, including founder Dr. Emily Silverman and producer Adelaide Papazoglou, in creating and producing 10 episodes for the Stories from a Pandemic series. Produced weekly, these episodes thematically strung together audio diary clips from health care workers across the United States, to build community and unpack shared experiences in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. The collection was acquired by the Library of Congress on June 15, 2021, and will be permanently housed in the American Folklife Center. Our team also created an interactive story map, curating these stories.

In 2020, I worked with the American College of Physicians to create an ethics case study on social media use in medicine. The case study is hosted on Medscape and is redeemable for continuing medical education (CME) credit.
