WUSF Rush Family/Health News Florida InternKatrine Bruner is the WUSF Rush Family/Health News Florida intern for spring 2022.
I am currently a freshman at New College of Florida in Sarasota, and I plan on majoring in Environmental Studies with a focus on environmental journalism.
I've lived in Bloomington, Indiana for most of my life.
Before moving to Florida for school, I spent my last 3 years in Indiana as a news intern for the town’s local community radio station where I produced features and news briefs for the daily local news broadcasts.
Other than writing my heart out, I enjoy rock climbing, running, soaking up the sun, and hanging out with my cat Gretchen.
