Hugo Phan
Digital News ReporterHugo Phan is a graduate of Wichita State University, where he majored in sociology and minored in communication. Hugo has been listening to KMUW since he was young. After years of being a loyal listener, he signed up to be a KMUW volunteer and joined the station's college student group. He transitioned from volunteer to staff member in May 2013.
Hugo believes in the station's mission to promote insightful discussion and understanding of the issues that shape the city he's been lucky to call home for most of his life. Working at the station has given him a fresh perspective on Wichita, helping him to embrace and find pride in his own hometown.
