Anchor, 'A' News At 6
Sandra is a veteran journalist who cuts through the spin and gets to the heart of the story. She focuses on the issues that matter to local residents and the ones that impact our community. Sandra is not afraid to ask the tough questions - and to dig deeper to get the other side of the story. Sandra began her journalism career shortly after completing her Masters Degree in Journalism from Concordia University. She landed her first job at CTV in Toronto writing news and shortly after that began her on-air broadcasting career in Timmins, Ontario as a reporter. Sandra moved on to Sudbury to cover municipal and provincial politics and earned national reporting awards for uncovering a hiring scandal in regional government. It was then on to Edmonton for an investigative reporting job, before Sandra arrived at 'A' News in Ottawa in September of 2000.

What I Love About My Job:
"I have always seen journalism as more than a business ... it's an important community service. When we're doing our jobs properly, we're keeping you informed about the world outside your front door ... and breaking down complex issues so you understand how they impact your everyday life. I must also admit: I'm still addicted to the daily adrenaline rush of deadline!"
