From 1997-2000, Simeone hosted the nationally syndicated public radio documentary series Soundprint, for which she has also produced three documentaries: "Bachelor Party," "Strippers: Thinly Veiled," and "Money in the Family."

Simeone began her career presenting classical music at WBJC in Baltimore and WETA in Washington, D.C.

She also produced and hosted public affairs call-in programs. She is now a freelancer, doing voice-overs, narrations, and hosting for the Discovery Channel, PBS, National Public Radio, and commercial enterprises. Simeone was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and earned a B.A. in Liberal Arts from St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland (the "Great Books School"). In 1997, Simeone earned an M.A. from the Writing Seminars at the Johns Hopkins University.
