Phyllis's Story
Life
I can boil water and make it taste good.
Workplace
I spent 5 and a half years as a software engineer in Seattle's dot-com boom. I got laid off when the company outsourced its engineering work overseas.
After that, I spent a lot of time swimming. One day in the pool I realized that I spent almost all of my time listening to my local NPR station. I figured since I already liked it so much that I was thinking about it in the one place I couldn't listen to i...Expand for more
t, that's what I should do in life.
So I volunteered in the station's pledge drive, answering phones. From there, I weaseled my way into an internship, which I parlayed into freelance work, which led to fill-in work, which ultimately led me to a full-time staff job as a reporter for KUOW 94.9FM.
Since then I have produced three documentaries, won local and national awards, and worked for two months in DC at NPR as an invited Reporting Fellow on their National Desk.
