Her Monday morning commentaries on GBH’s Morning Edition tackle wide-ranging subject matter — from the TSA’s Quiet Skies surveillance program, safe injection sites, Ayanna Pressley’s Congressional victory, everyday racism, the movie "Crazy Rich Asians," the pre- and post-response to the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, and the lack of understanding about sexual assault.
Crossley spent thirteen years as a network television Producer for ABC NEWS' "20/20" reporting health medical stories such as male menopause, breast cancer in young women, and the potential link between viral infection and recycled air in airplanes. In addition, she was a producer on the critically acclaimed PBS documentary series "Eyes on the Prize: Americas Civil Rights Years 1954-1965." The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences honored her hour on the series with an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary Feature. Crossley produced the documentary while working for Blackside, Inc., a Boston-based independent film production company for which she most recently served as Senior Series Producer on the 2003 PBS documentary series "This Far By Faith: African-American Spiritual Journeys."
Crossley is a graduate of Wellesley College, and was at Harvard University as a Nieman Fellow, a year long sabbatical for professional journalists.
