SPR ReporterEmber Braun hails from Reno, Nevada where she attended UNR and got her start in public radio by interning with the city's local station. After graduating, she took a two-year stint in tv news, producing parts of the morning show at a tv station in Sacramento. Now, she's overjoyed to be back in public radio with SPR. In her free time, she tries out new and local coffee shops, goes hiking, or stays inside reading.
