Hi, I’m Rae!

I work as an audio engineer, sound designer, and radio person. Wednesdays - Fridays you can find me at This American Life, where I’m on the team that mixes and scores the show. Mondays and Tuesdays you can find me either doing freelance work (With you, perhaps? Get in touch!), or walking up some big mountain.

From January 2017 - April 2019 I was regularly at the podcast and radio show Reveal, From the Center for Investigative Reporting, where I worked with their audio engineering team. I’ve also done podcast work (engineering and editorial) for Snap Judgement, 99% Invisible, Bloomberg Media, Marvel Entertainment, Slate, Pop-Up Magazine (RIP), Intuit, and an array of other folks.

My work also expands beyond the radio and podcast world. Some of the best ten days of my life involved being on bike tour along Highway 1 with the Biketopia Music Collective, doing live music mixing on an off the grid, bike powered sound system. Very early in my career I reported at various news outlets (Marfa Public Radio is my favorite!), and I’m no stranger to the world of sound for film (here’s my reel!). I’ve been an audio stagehand at Bass Concert Hall (one of the largest theaters in Texas), and was once the sole audio engineer at Padre’s Marfa music venue (which no longer exists). I speak and write advanced, non-native Spanish.

I write about things that I figure out on my Medium page. I have a B.S. in Radio/Television/Film and a minor in Spanish from UT Austin, where I focused on production recording, sound design for film, and documentary editing.
