Nancy Marshall-Genzer

Senior Reporter, Washington Bureau

Nancy Marshall-Genzer has been a part of the public radio community for more than a decade. Most recently, she worked at NPR as a part-time newscaster, reporter, and editor. Before moving to Washington, D.C., Marshall-Genzer worked at WAMC in Albany, New York, where she wrote and co-hosted a weekly, half-hour program on aging issues. Marshall-Genzer also worked as an anchor/reporter at Oregon Public Broadcasting.

In 1994, Marshall-Genzer left Oregon and moved to Budapest, Hungary to edit and host a daily, half-hour English-language news program. The program aired in Budapest, Prague, Warsaw, Bucharest, and Talin, Estonia. In December of 1995, just after the Dayton Peace Accord was signed, Marshall-Genzer moved to Tusla, Bosnia, to cover the arrival of thousands of U.S. peacekeeping troops. Marshall-Genzer spent the winter of 1996 in Bosnia, working for Monitor radio and NBC radio and television. She eventually became bureau chief for NBC TV in Tusla.

Marshall-Genzer returned to the U.S. at the end of 1996 and settled in Washington. She began working for Feature Story News, an independent agency providing radio and television news coverage. While at Feature Story, Marshall-Genzer filed reports for NPR, The World, Monitor Radio and the BBC.

A summa cum laude graduate of Ohio University, Marshall-Genzer got her first public radio experience at her college radio station, WOUB.

She married Jan Genzer in 2004.
