Digital Content ProducerI am a digital news content producer for LehighValleyNews.com. My passion is telling stories that humanize and empower communities undercovered by the mainstream media. I attended graduate school at Columbia Journalism School and Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs, where I wrote about the South Asian community, juvenile justice and housing. I also received the Gitelson Award for Human Values for my work raising awareness about the humanitarian crisis in Myanmar. In my free time, I love to travel, read and hang out with my rescue dog, Dobby. Contact me at SamaraA@lehighvalleynews.com or 610-984-8207.
