Elaine Baumgartel

Elaine volunteered to answer phones during a KUNM pledge drive in 2003 and she's been unable to drag herself away from public radio ever since.  And why would she want to?  She's worn many sets of headphones at the station. Right now, she's KUNM's News Director.

As a graduate student in the Communication and Journalism MA program atUNM, Elaine worked atKUNMin the operations, programming, and news departments.  She's been the local anchor of NPR's Morning Edition, a reporter in theKUNMnewsroom, and the host and producer of the KUNMCall In Show.  

In her spare time, Elaine likes to garden and work with ceramics in addition to spending time with her family.
