Felicia Parrillo
Reporter
Born and raised in Montreal’s West Island, Felicia Parrillo’s journey towards the world of news started in high school when she realized she had a passion for storytelling.
She went on to study at Concordia University, where she received a BA specialization in English Literature, and then went on to complete a Graduate Diploma in Journalism.
In 2015, shortly after graduating, Felicia came to Global Montreal as an intern and began reporting. A year later, she joined the team full-time as a multimedia journalist. She now reports, writes, shoots, and edits her own stories.
Throughout her career, Felicia has covered federal, provincial and municipal elections, Quebec floods, and the Quebec City mosque attack in 2017.
Outside of the newsroom, Felicia enjoys spending time with her husband and two young children.
