Producer

Scarlett Robertson joined KBIA as a producer in February 2011. She studied psychology at Lake Forest College and holds a masters degree in journalism from Syracuse University.

She has contributed to NPR member stations WAER in Syracuse, KUT in Austin and Chicago’s WBEZ. A native New Yorker, she is fascinated by rural Missouri. In no particular order she likes: peppermint stick ice cream, Brussels Griffons, documentaries, German orthopedic shoes, reading and biking. She lives in the Benton-Stephens neighborhood of Columbia where, for the first time ever, she can attempt to plant a garden.

Scarlett left KBIA in June of 2012.
