Tudhope (left) previously served as the Sr. Coordinating Producer for America Amplified, a CPB-funded public media community engagement initiative. She also spent five years at Kansas City NPR affiliate KCUR, and was a print journalist in Colorado, where she was part of the team behind the Pulitzer Prize-winning series, Other Than Honorable.
