IN DEBBIE’S OWN WORDS …

With a career that spans more than 20 years, I’ve covered numerous stories and topics. I’ve measured wheat crops in Kansas fields, hunted mushrooms in Asheville, elbowed my way on futures exchanges’ trading floors, learned about the science and economics behind nuclear and renewable energy, and a host of other subjects. My motto is to always stay curious.
