Tessa Paoli

I'm an independent audio producer based in the Bay Area. I've produced stories for NPR, Snap Judgment, KALW, Capital Public Radio and Northern California Public Media. I completed my master's in journalism at UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. I teach journalism classes inside San Quentin Prison's Media Center.

I love to produce stories that center mental health, housing and the criminal justice system in an effort to destigmatize and humanize.
