ABOUT ME

Hi there! I’m Michayla, a journalist passionate about reporting on everything from the climate crisis to health, education, transportation, and the policies that impact our communities. I’m currently working part-time for Connecticut Public Radio’s newsroom as a general assignment reporter, and am seeking full-time work in journalism.

My radio career began a decade ago in the days (and late nights) on-air as a host during my undergraduate days at Ithaca College's FM radio station, WICB. I've worked professionally in audio journalism since graduating in 2017, producing news spots, two-ways, features, live broadcasts, debates and talk shows at various audio news outlets.

After many years in the field, I decided to get my masters’ degree in science & audio reporting at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY. In that time I reported part-time on policy development in NY & CT for Public News Service, then joined CT Public as a spring intern for their talk shows. That summer, I interned for the newsroom and have been working there as a reporter since January 2023.

I’m currently based in Brooklyn, NY by way of Ithaca, NY and Worcester, MA. When I’m not on deadline you can find me outside with my 3-year-old rescue dog — or listening to This American Life, seeking live music, or crafting the perfect playlist.
