Lorenda Reddekopp loves meeting people, hearing their stories and then being able to tell them on radio and tv.
Lorenda has worked for the CBC in cities across the country - Saskatoon, Whitehorse, Regina and Toronto.
She also worked as a freelance journalist in Guatemala for three years. Lorenda filed news stories and radio documentaries to various public broadcasters around the world, including the CBC. There, she toughened up for any conditions she might experience as a reporter in Canada's largest city. On her way to one story, for example, she trudged through mud for more than an hour. That was to cover the aftermath of a hurricane in Guatemala. Her experience in Central America also made her more creative, as she sought out quiet places to voice her radio stories in a country where walls are thin and the street dogs never stop barking.
Lorenda speaks Spanish. She has an Arts degree with a major in English from the University of Saskatchewan and a journalism degree from the University of Regina.
