Having worked with distinguished news organizations including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, NPR, MarketWatch, PBS, PRX, Public Radio International, and American Public Media, I have considerable experience producing dynamic audio stories that reach a large audience and illustrate diverse subjects through engaging narratives. Fluent in all aspects of production: digital, audio & video. Earned a degree in Journalism & Communications from San Diego State University and completed graduate fellowship programs at the University of Southern California, the University of California at Berkeley and Columbia Graduate School of Journalism. As a lifelong animal advocate, I lend my support to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home abandoned cats and dogs. You can also find me on my bike, cycling from San Francisco to Los Angeles to raise money for HIV/AIDS services for the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center.

Great working with Devin! She's professional in every way, and has great energy and ideas!
January • 2018
Did a great job, recorded the assignment in the field with the team and delivered the raw files to the team in the field as asked. Then went a step beyond to mix the audio down to stereo and label the files which she sent via email along with boosting some of the sound due to the wind noise (lower recording). Very communicative and easy to book and work with. Would recommend!
