Nicole Crawford

Community Connections Producer

A lifelong fan of High Plains Public Radio, Nicole was born and raised in Amarillo, Texas and graduated from Tascosa High School. She joined the staff as our sole reporter based in the Texas Panhandle, covering regional arts and culture, community events, and human interest stories from the top of Texas.

"I have strong ties to the underground music and arts scenes in and around Amarillo. Local musicians may know me from my 10+ years working in numerous music venues and bars around Amarillo as an audio engineer," she said. "I also have played synth with a handful of bands around the area."

Prior to HPPR, Nicole also worked in local television for more than 6 years, but she's thrilled to now embark on her next chapter in "radioland."

Outside of work, Nicole enjoys video games, spending time in the Rocky Mountains fishing and hiking, relaxing with TV, and playing with her two cats —Hamlet and Marceline. "I also love spending time with my wonderful family."

HPPR couldn't be more delighted to welcome Nicole as our first-ever reporter based in the Yellow City. To reach her about a story idea, community calendar submission, or to ask about high-end mic cables, send an email to ncrawford@hppr.org.
