Sabrina Armaghan Kharrazi is a first-year student at UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism focusing on multimedia and data journalism. She plans to complete her master’s degree this summer and hopes to begin a lifelong career of advocating for unrepresented or marginalized communities and for diversity in journalism.

After spending most of her formative years in Arizona, Sabrina moved to Berkeley in 2016 to pursue her Bachelor’s degree in media studies, global poverty, and journalism. By the time she graduated in 2020, Sabrina was completing her degree as a full-time student, working as a hired staff member at a local women’s center, and was a manager at the school’s newspaper The Daily Californian. She returned to campus (only via zoom!) that fall to begin a Master’s degree at UC Berkeley’s esteemed graduate school of journalism.
