Nancy Guan
ReporterAs WUSF's general assignment reporter, I cover a variety of topics across the greater Tampa Bay region.
Though I'm originally a West Coast native, I've settled into the balmy Southeast as my new home.
After graduating from USC in 2020, I moved from Los Angeles to Savannah, Georgia, where I worked as the general assignment reporter for the local paper, the Savannah Morning News.
For two years, I reported on Chatham County’s municipal governments and whatever else came my way. There, I learned the value of public service journalism, civic engagement and building relationships with the local community.
I’m thrilled to be part of WUSF’s team and continue that work in the Gulf Coast.
In my free time, you’ll probably find me on the beach, scouring an antique shop or figuring out how to bike in this city. I’m also on the lookout for a pet cat, so suggestions on where to adopt are welcome.
If you have a story idea, give me a call at 813-974-8620, email me at nguan@wusf.org or find me on Twitter @nancyguann.
