ABOUT

Hello...

I’m Téa, a journalist working across audio, video and digital media with a narrative approach to storytelling.

 

I came to journalism as a way to continuously learn about the world, exploring what shapes people’s lives and the choices they make. I’m most drawn to immersive storytelling that combines rigorous research with on-the-ground reporting, inviting audiences into complex subjects and offering deeper insight.

With reporting experience in the U.S. & Europe, my work spans podcastsdocumentaries, radio programs and multimedia projectsI’ve reported and produced journalism for the San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times and The Arizona Republic, working at the intersection of reporting, production and real-time newsroom decision-making.
 

Across topics and formats, I bring audiences to the heart of a story. Feel free to explore my portfolio and reach out if you'd like to connect!
