Ivy started as a science news intern in the summer of 2019 and has been hooked on broadcast ever since. Her internship was supported by the Wyoming EPSCoR Summer Science Journalism Internship program.

When she’s not writing for WPR, she enjoys baking, reading, playing with her dog, and caring for her many plants.
