Production Work
A TikTok teen charged with murder. A defense team requests evidence testing. Plus, interrogation tactics.
17 year old Sarah Grace Patrick is accused of gunning down her mother and stepfather in Georgia. The defense team of the man accused of killing UNC Chapel Hill student Faith Hedgepeth in 2012 has filed motions that raise new questions about crime scene evidence. Updates on Florida matriarch Donna Adelson's trial and former MLB pitcher Dan Serafini. Plus, an inside look at police interrogations and the tactics investigators use.
For this episode, I booked our guest Rebecca Leftwich who spoke to Dateline about the Sarah Grace Patrick bond hearing. I also helped to fact check the script.
A grandmother's trial is set to start. An international fugitive faces a jury. And digital go bags.
After more than a decade, Donna Adelson, the matriarch of a prominent Florida family, is about to go on trial for murder. International fugitive Nicholas Rossi stands trial in a Utah courtroom after allegedly faking his death to avoid prosecution for rape charges. In Dateline Round Up, we've got a verdict, a surprise guilty plea, and the latest on Alex Murdaugh's appeal. And 2025 has been a year of natural disasters — do you have your digital go bag packed? We break down what you need to know.
While interning at Dateline, I helped to fact check scripts for True Crime weekly as well in production help of this episode.

“As artificial intelligence continues to develop, it's not enough to focus on whether AI can or cannot carry out a task — we need to focus on whether the technology should carry out the task at all. At the University of Texas at Austin, researchers across a variety of disciplines are doing just that. From Good Systems — Ethical AI at UT Austin and The Drag Audio Production House, "Generation AI" explores how AI is transforming the way we live, work, teach, learn and connect with each other.”
As The Drag’s client and supervising producer at the time, I not only helped with in-studio production but helping to schedule and work with the guests.
“Ever wondered what it’s like to be one of the most creative people in business? How about the producer of some of Hollywood’s biggest films? Host Mahlah Freeman brings you stories from alumni, faculty, students and friends of the Moody College of Communication at the University of Texas at Austin as she finds out what it’s like to be them and how communication helps them succeed. Hear stories from communicators of all types – journalists, advertising professionals, movie producers, podcasters and more – as they share their stories.”

“Forsaken is a series that explores the systems that both enhance and oppress the lives of the more than 29 million people living in Texas. Each episode will address issues that Texans face each day – the good and the bad. We’ll explore the criminal justice system, Texas politics, civil rights, social issues and even a little bit of history. Texas is the second-most diverse state in the nation and has equally diverse stories to tell. As the legendary late Texas singer Billy Joe Shaver sings: “You fathers and you mothers / Be good to one another / Please try to raise your children right / Don’t let the darkness take ‘em / Don’t make ‘em feel forsaken / Just lead ‘em safely to the light.’”
I worked on this podcast as a producer for the mini-series Missing While Black, the case of Rodney Reed, and the exoneration of Anthony Graves.
“As podcast producers and educators, hosts Katey Psencik Outka and Robert Quigley are on a mission to help you discover good podcasts. To do that, the two friends and coworkers check out podcasts from all genres and analyze them for you. Listen to Katey and Quigley discuss a different show each episode and help you decide …should you check out this podcast?”
I worked on this podcast as the editor and producer for the show. Katey and Quigley are two of the most fun people to be around, so getting in the studio with them is always the highlight of my week.
“Actor Brett Davern, best known for his role on the MTV hit comedy Awkward, has teamed up with actress Katie Leclerc (Switched at Birth, The Big Bang Theory), and idobi Network president Tom Cheney to launch an all new morning show. The project, based on “The Brett Davern Show” podcast, is the first daily series from the leading digital radio streamer.”
As an intern for The Brett Davern Show, I edited, published, and participated on air daily during the summer of 2023.
“On August 1, 1966, a sniper climbed the steps of the University of Texas at Austin’s 27-story tower. Seventeen people were killed and more than 30 others were injured. Fifty-six years later, mass shootings make headlines nearly every week. And the University of Texas tower looms over campus, a reminder of one of the first mass school shootings in United States history that has long been forgotten. In season four of “Darkness,” host Sara Kinney walks through the day of the University of Texas Tower shooting and outlines its legacy among the decades-long epidemic of gun violence in schools. Hear from survivors, heroes and family members about their day in 1966, their lives since then and the state of gun control today.”
This was my very first project at The Drag Audio Production House. I worked as an associate producer helping to edit scripts of the podcast
