Experience

As well as covering travel, Lucy is the managing producer for several investigative podcasts made by the production studio, Project Brazen, including the Peabody-nominated podcast, "Kabul Falling." Lucy is a native Brit who now lives in northern California, where she can't get enough of the sunny weather and beautiful trails.
