Elsie Stormberg is a reporter and photographer at the Wahoo Newspaper in Wahoo, Nebraska and was a storytelling intern with Platte Basin Timelapse. During her time at PBT, she created a collection of stories called Sharing Solace in which creatives from the Platte River Basin explain their experiences with nature during a pandemic.

After her graduation in December 2020, she will continue with the Wahoo Newspapers while pursuing other storytelling experiences.
