Kat Fulwider

KUNR On-Air Host & Reporter

Kat Fulwider is an award-winning multi-media journalist, documentary filmmaker, and photographer. She is a graduate of the School of Photographic Arts of Ottawa and the Reynolds School of Journalism at the University of Nevada, Reno, where she received multiple Hearst Awards for her audio and multimedia reporting, an international Webby Award nomination for her debut documentary, and the Frank McCulloch Student Award for Courage in Journalism.

Her reporting has spanned continents, from documenting healthcare in rural Cambodia, to exploring ground-breaking scientific research and climate resilience in the rainforests of Central and South America. Now based in the Reno-Tahoe region, she harnesses her background in biology and professional experience in the outdoor industry to highlight stories at the nexus of climate, environment, adventure sports, and sustainability.

She is the founding editor of The High Sierra Rambler, an outdoor culture and environment print magazine covering the Sierra and Northern Nevada and is a regular contributor and on-air host for KUNR Public Radio, and has worked as a stringer for The New York Times. When not behind the lens or keyboard, you can find her practicing aerial lyra, or breaking out her watercolors at the trail, crag, or skin track.
