NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Veteran journalist, Nathalee Martinborough was born in Long Island.

After graduating high school she moved to New Providence to attend the College of The Bahamas in the 1980’s where she obtained her degree in journalism.

Shortly after she moved to Grand Bahama and was the voice many heard for decades at ZNS Northern Service.
