"I can't recommend Micaela highly enough as a story editor for longform, narrative audio. She's the person you want in the room when you're struggling with a story problem that feels unsolvable. She doesn't just eliminate confusion from your scripts, ask the right reporting questions, and push you to craft a satisfying arc. She's also a phenomenal listener, who leads with compassion and care for the voices at the center of the story."
— Sarah Wyman, podcast producer (Business Insider, Atlas Obscura, NPR)
