Marielle Segarra

Marielle Segarra was WHYY's Keystone Crossroads reporter.

Marielle studied nonfiction writing at Brown and graduated in 2010. She grew up in Levittown, New York, home of Billy Joel and the suburb. She prides herself on her ability to make conversation with anyone/anything (including goats).
