COVID-19 has caused head-spinning changes in nearly every facet of our daily experiences. Economic analyst Hank Fishkind points out that the economy is no exception.

He tells WMFE’s Nicole Darden Creston that beyond the immediate impacts on our economy, the pandemic has ushered in permanent and transformational changes.

Nicole came to Central Florida to attend Rollins College and started working for Orlando’s ABC News Radio affiliate shortly after graduation. She joined WMFE in 2010. As a field reporter, news anchor and radio show host in the City Beautiful, she has covered everything from local arts to national elections, from extraordinary hurricanes to historic space flights, from the people and procedures of Florida’s justice system to the changing face of the state’s economy. When local issues have received international attention, Nicole has reported worldwide for TV news outlets such as CNN, HLN, ABC, Fox News Channel, and BBC News 24.

When she’s off duty, Nicole can often be found performing with one of Central Florida’s many theatre companies, or taking in local arts, culture and music.
