Abby Becker

Abigail Becker joins the UniverCity Alliance as a communications and outreach associate because she believes local governments are the building blocks of communities. Becker developed an interest in supporting local governments after reporting on the city of Madison and Dane County for the Cap Times for over five years. She has been recognized for her reporting on local government with two consecutive first place awards from the Wisconsin Newspaper Association. Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, Becker moved to the city to attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she gained a bachelor’s degree in journalism. Photo by Saiyna Bashir.
