Manjula Varghese

Digital Producer/Editor

Manjula Varghese is the Digital Producer/Editor for KQED Arts & Culture. Before KQED, she produced videos for the San Francisco Chronicle, exploring issues of race, gun violence and immigration. As a D.C. native, she managed to escape the East Coast, run her own production company Mirrorlake Films based in Utah, and graduate from Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism unscathed. Believing in the power of community, she is active in the local Asian American Journalists Association, Brown Girls Doc Mafia and, on occasion, teaches at UC Berkeley's school of journalism. Her free time is filled with day trips around the Bay, live music, befriending stranger’s dogs and attempting her mom’s South Indian cooking.
