Meghan Bowman
Community Engagement ReporterI love getting to know people and covering issues that matter most to our audience. I get to do that every day as WUSF’s community engagement reporter. I focus on Your Florida, a project connecting Floridians with their state government.
My journalism career began in 5th grade in my hometown St. Petersburg. I delivered my elementary school’s morning announcements and led the campus through the pledge of allegiance.
I took a different path for many years, enjoying a long career as a professional dancer. My life was full of feathers, sequins and choreography.
When the coronavirus pandemic hit, I decided to rededicate my life to journalism and studied broadcast news at the University of South Florida. I worked at WUSF as an intern for more than a year reporting on local issues in the Tampa Bay area and fell in love with public radio.
After graduating in 2024, I served as assistant news director at WMNF Community Radio in Tampa before rejoining the WUSF team in 2025.
These days, you might find me in an open tap class, flying my drone around town or hanging with my husband and two kiddos.
I am excited to report on issues impacting you most. And this position gives me the ability to connect directly to you.
You can find me on most social media channels, by phone at 813-974-8635, or by email at bowman4@wusf.org.
