Here's what creative people have to say about working with me:
"We worked together on my first long form audio story for Reveal. I felt Cheryl listened to me as a reporter and her edits were thoughtful and informative. I still carry some of her tips and lessons with me as I write and edit my own work today." Adizah Eghan/Vice/The Daily from The New York Times/Snap Judgment
"It felt immersive, like somebody was really considering every word that I wrote and recorded, and when the script was done, it felt like there wasn't anything in the story that didn't need to be there. That's a good feeling." Jesse Hardman/Internews.org

"As an editor, Cheryl is sensitive to identity and equity issues with the story line, characters, framing and the storyteller. Her editorial framing opens a story to new angles that are easy and uncomplicated for the reporter to execute and powerful for listeners to experience." Erika Aguilar/Executive Producer, NPR's Morning Edition/KQED/ Southern California Public Radio

"Editing with Cheryl was an active exercise. There was nothing routine about it. When we tracked she had me recall where I was when I was reporting and learning about the characters (in my story). It took me back to that place and helped me get into my own voice." Alexandra Hall/Central Valley bureau, KQED/Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism
