ReporterI’m a general assignment reporter for LehighValleyNews.com, but have a special interest in all things quirky, crime, or meaningful. I joined Lehigh Valley Public Media in 2022 after completing a master’s degree at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. Before that, I reported for CTV News Atlantic in Canada and spent some time in commercial radio. I also hold a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of King’s College, and a bachelor’s in criminology from Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I love my job, but when I’m not at work I enjoy fitness, humor, meditation and playing drums. Contact me at JulianA@lehighvalleynews.com or 610-984-8185.
