Anne Marshall Chalmers

Class of 2022

I have reported for television, public radio, newspapers, alt-weeklies and magazines. With more than 15 years of experience, I’ve spent much of my career in Kentucky and Tennessee, and have received numerous regional awards from the Society of Professional Journalists and The Associated Press. A Bay Area native, I’m now focused on telling the stories of climate change, environmental justice, health and the American West’s beautiful creatures and places.
