Katherine Moncure
Host/Local ReporterKatherine is covering local stories in Dillingham and the Bristol Bay area for the summer of 2022, and she's excited to be in Alaska for the first time. After growing up in Connecticut, she's since lived in Ohio, South Korea, New York, and Maine. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in 2016 at Oberlin College, where she studied sociology and minored in creative writing and Hispanic studies. She spent the subsequent year teaching English on a Fulbright scholarship.
Katherine is passionate about all forms of storytelling, and she recently graduated from the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies, a 15-week intensive in radio and podcast production. When not working on stories or hosting the morning news, she enjoys cooking, reading, and going on aimless walks. She'll pet any dog that wants attention.
