Meet Greta Mart, KCAW’s summer news intern from the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism!
Greta is thrilled to be back in Alaska for another summer of learning and nature loving. Exactly 20 years ago, as an undergraduate at the University of Massachusetts at Boston, Greta interned for a summer with Alaska State Parks. She was based in Soldotna where her duties included cleaning outhouses and floating down the Kenai River checking fishing licenses.
After a career in theater (her last theatrical job was prop mistress for San Francisco’s Beach Blanket Babylon) and eight years as a newspaper reporter, Greta is now pursuing her Master’s degree in Journalism. She took Intro to Radio this past semester and loved it, so here she is, to continue learning the craft and art of radio production. Greta lives on her ’30 Catalina sailboat at the Berkeley Marina and loves Monty Python’s “Always Look On the Bright Side of Life,” Gerry Rafferty, all straight-ahead jazz and most opera. She is deathly fearful of bears, but hopes to overcome this phobia in Alaska. From afar.
