Julie accidentally fell into radio work in 2007 when she interned with the passionate journalists of Manooré FM, a community radio station in Dakar, Senegal. The experience left her with an addiction to super-sweet Senegalese tea and a love for audio storytelling. Since then, she has reported for WFIU public radio in Bloomington, Indiana, recorded the stories of Baghdad college students, and written about the Tibetan community in Indiana. She recently completed a Master’s program in African studies at Indiana University during which she documented the experiences of African political activists in Cincinnati, Ohio. Julie loves public transportation and collecting different versions of the same family story.
