Producers
Patrice Sikora
Producer
I love words and have worked in radio news for more than 40 years (the average lifespan of a cockatoo). While most of that time has been focused on financial and consumer reporting, I have also hosted continuing education telecasts for medical personnel including nurses and doctors. There was even a stint teaching environmentaleducation in the middle of a swamp. A Master's degree in Geography covers science and social issues…not just "where" something might be, but "how" it works and "why." It is a wonderful background for a journalist.
