Katie Hiler
Katie is a journalism grad student with the NYU Science Health and Environmental Reporting program (or SHERP). She enjoys writing about neuroscience, health and babies whenever possible and is a known audio and podcast junkie. When Katie is not learning about radio, reading about radio, listening to radio or doing radio...well right now she doesn't do much else. But her absolute favorite place to unwind is at home in her apartment in Astoria with her cat Charleigh.
