Rebekah Nelson

Digital Producer

If there’s one thing to know about me, it’s that I’ve always been a sucker for a good print cover—I used to spend hours as a kid devouring every magazine I could get my hands on. Over the years, this obsession turned into a genuine love for storytelling through reporting.

As a digital content producer on the web team, I cover everything from crime to new restaurants to the ever-persistent rumor that lovebugs were created in a USF lab (spoiler alert: they weren't).

In a past life, I was a student at New York University, where I majored in journalism and gender and sexuality studies. After graduating, I relocated back to my hometown of Tampa, where I now spend most of my downtime with my nose in a book.

You can find me around the city writing, editing and belting out the same Fleetwood Mac song ten times a day. Something cool happening in the area? Shoot me an email at rebekah.nelson at wfts.com
