Erica Hunzinger is the editor of Harvest Public Media, based at KCUR in Kansas City, Missouri.
Born and bred in central Illinois, Erica branched out to the University of Missouri-Columbia for her journalism degree and later earned an MA in Humanities (with an emphasis on poetry) from the University of Chicago.
Previously, Erica was the politics, education and criminal justice editor at St. Louis Public Radio. She also spent five years on The Associated Press' Central Region editing desk, where she took a keen interest in working on regional agriculture stories. She started her career on copy-editing desks at The News Journal in Wilmington, Delaware, and The News & Observer in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Erica is a farmer's granddaughter, attuned to the smell of cow manure and processed soybeans, nurtures flowers and plants and pays way too much attention to baseball.
