Sasha Strong joined Spectrum News 1 in as a multimedia journalist in August 2021.

Originally from North Carolina, Sasha graduated from UNC Greensboro in 2015 before taking some time to take care of her ill father. He inspired her to pursue her dreams, and after his passing in 2016, Sasha moved to Washington, D.C. to get her masters in journalism from Georgetown. Upon completing her masters, she spent two years reporting in North Dakota during the coronavirus pandemic.

While working in North Dakota, Sasha recalls one her most personally meaningful stories from Minot City. She is passionate about covering social justice, diversity and inclusion, and was given a great opportunity when the city hung a pride flag from City Hall. Sasha was able to capture the locals’ responses to the hot-button issue as dozens of people voiced their opinions of the flag.

Sasha loves the diversity in Greensboro, and enjoys all the various local artists and performers in the area. She also is a fan of outdoor activities and enjoys the North Carolina topography, from waterfalls to beaches and mountains.

When she’s not reporting, she might be at an a open mic night listening to local talent, or looking for her new favorite taco.
