Sarah Volstad

Reporter

Sarah hadn’t always known that she wanted to be a reporter, but after her first day interning in the Global Montreal newsroom, she knew that she was exactly where she wanted to be.

She has been working as a freelance reporter for Global Montreal since April 2012, after completing a four-month internship with the station and has a journalism degree at Concordia University.

She now studies law at Université de Montréal.

Born in Italy, Sarah has lived in six countries and visited many more. With a passion for travel, she hopes that her journalistic career will take her to new and exciting places while keeping a “pied-à-terre” in her hometown of Montreal.

Sarah lives in the West Island. When she has a few minutes, she enjoys aquatic sports, reading National Geographic, eating good food, and talking!
