Sarah Komadina
Digital Journalist
Sarah Komadina is a digital journalist for Global Edmonton and on maternity leave until 2025.
Born and raised in Wainwright, Alta., Sarah began her broadcast career in northern BC as a video journalist after graduating from NAIT’s Radio and Television Arts program.
Prior to joining Global Edmonton in 2019, Sarah worked as the morning live reporter at Global Regina, worked at Global Lethbridge, and in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.
Sarah loves telling stories, whether it is about someone doing something amazing, breaking news or covering civic politics and was part of the Global News coverage that was awarded with a 2023 RTDNA for its breaking news coverage of a serious stabbing attack in 2022 that forced residents to stay in their homes for several hours.
Sarah reported live on air when the suspect was arrested, and informed viewers as the scene was unfolding.
When she is not reporting, you will find Sarah posting pictures of her photogenic and extremely adorable dog Koda to Instagram, hiking and attempting to bake something delicious.
