Marielle Segarra

Marielle Segarra was WHYY's Keystone Crossroads reporter. She reported for the multi-station partnership on urban policy, crumbling infrastructure and how distressed Pennsylvania cities are bouncing back. As a freelance radio reporter, her stories have also aired on Latino USA, WNYC, WBUR and other NPR member stations.

Before WHYY, Marielle was an editor at CFO, a corporate finance magazine in New York. She’s also a former intern for WBUR in Boston and WRNI in Providence.

Marielle studied nonfiction writing at Brown and graduated in 2010. She grew up in Levittown, New York, home of Billy Joel and the suburb. She prides herself on her ability to make conversation with anyone/anything (including goats).

  • Harrison Walker, 54, lives in Reading and doesn't own a car, so he bikes everywhere.
    Some Towns Treat Bikes As Trendy, But In Reading, Pa., They're Tools
    Marielle Segarra
    The city of nearly 90,000 is making an effort to become bike-friendly as a way to cater to existing residents — many of whom bike because they have to.
  • Dr. Alan Leviton (L), Dr. Herbert Needleman, and Dr. David Bellinger (R) at the Charles A. Dana Foundation Award ceremony in 1989. Needleman won an award for his research on lead poisoning.
    Lead Poisoning: A Doctor's Lifelong Crusade To Save Children From It
    Marielle Segarra
    In the '70s, Dr. Herbert Needleman made a discovery that changed how people think about lead. His work led to a ban on lead in gasoline. But as seen in Flint, Mich., lead poisoning is still a concern.
  • Roller skates and string lights hang from a wooden pagoda in the center of the roller rink in Philadelphia's Delaware River waterfront.
    To Hook Investors, Philly Baits The Waterfront With Low-Cost Parks
    Marielle Segarra
    Philadelphia has tried and failed to lure developers to revamp its waterfront. So now it's sprucing it up on the cheap: a roller rink, string lights, hammocks and beer vendors. And it's working.
  • Move Over Video Games, Board Games Aren't Dead Yet
    Marielle Segarra
    Board games are coming out of the closet, with store fronts popping up in a lot of communities. In Brooklyn, N.Y., Gamelab is place where people can get together and play different types of games.
