Hi, I’m Samia*.

I’m a freelance audio storyteller, writer, and science communicator based in Philadelphia. I tell stories that cross cultural barriers, connect us to the cosmos, and highlight the extraordinary in the ordinary.

I’m currently a senior producer for the podcast Lost Women of Science, and I also write scripts for the YouTube channels SciShow and Be Smart. Previously, I worked as a podcast producer and sound designer at Adonde Media, making podcasts in English, French, and Spanish.

I have a B.S. in astrophysics from Rutgers University, where I did research on supernova cosmology. Later, I went to the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY for an M.A. in journalism (concentration: science reporting).

You can find more details about my experience in my CV or on LinkedIn, or browse some of my projects on this site. If you’d like to work together, get in touch!

*I pronounce my name SAM-ya boo-ZEED.
