Quincy Walters
ProducerI'm a producer for "Florida Matters Live & Local," and before joining WUSF, I was a reporter at WGCU in Fort Myers and WBUR in Boston, where I also produced podcasts.
In a career pivot, I was a speechwriter for the mayor of Boston.
Over a decade ago, as a WUSF intern, I remember my poetry professor — the late John Hopler — being enthused about hearing a story I did on the radio.
While I don’t remember his exact words, the essence of them instilled in me a belief that the pursuit of learning, the power of the voice, and a little bit of poetry are key ingredients for storytelling that resonates with people and that matters.
I’m thrilled to return to WUSF, the place where I always learn valuable lessons as a journalist.
