Hi there,
My name is Kate Groetzinger. I live in San Juan County, Utah and report for KUER, a statewide NPR station based in Salt Lake City. I cover issues like public lands, politics and education in Southeast Utah, including the Navajo Nation. I am also pursuing my master's degree in journalism at the University of Texas.
I graduated from Brown University with a BA in English in 2015 and moved to New York City to become a fellow at Quartz, then part of Atlantic Media. After a year in NYC, I decided to move home to Texas to report on state politics and policy issues. I began as an intern at Austin's NPR station, KUT, in August 2016 and was offered a position as a part-time reporter there before matriculating to UT Austin in August 2017.
While in school, I covered the Texas Legislature for The Texas Observer through a fellowship. I also worked for Voces, an oral history project based at UT , and served as a teaching assistant for audio journalism courses. Feel free to contact me through this website if you have questions about my work!
