Journalist | Editor | Communications Specialist

Hi, I'm Sanam. I'm an experienced journalist who has reported for print, digital and broadcast media in Canada and abroad. My work has been published in The Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, Toronto Life, Chatelaine, Maclean's, Canadian Business, The Walrus, Best Health, the Financial Post, The National (UAE) and many other newspapers and magazines. I've also held on-air positions at Breakfast Television Edmonton and OMNI News: South Asian Edition.

I've done everything from covering a murder trial in Edmonton to interviewing a Bollywood actor in Dubai. I've reported on the challenges faced by Syrian refugees, gone undercover to explore haggling tactics, and profiled CEOs from some of Canada's largest corporations. These days, I love writing about health and wellness, social justice issues, inspirational women and marginalized communities. 

In addition, I enjoy editing, particularly features. I have edited long-form articles for Chatelaine and The National, as well as written materials for small businesses and nonprofits.

I have also worked in communications at Canadian nonprofits for three years. During this time, I led internal and external communications, which included securing extensive media coverage. I continue to share my expertise on a freelance basis with nonprofits and businesses.
