She's reported on a range of stories over the years — including the Boston Marathon bombings and the trial of James "Whitey" Bulger.
Asma got her start in journalism in her home state of Indiana (go Hoosiers!) but she fell in love with radio through an internship at BBC Newshour in London during grad school.
