07.01.2022 Meet our alumni: Sandra Siagian, Journalist and producer, CBS News, New York Whilst Sandra was still at uni, she couldn’t wait to start her journalism career. With internships at The Jakarta Post, Network Ten and The Sydney Morning Herald, she knew that she would chase a career in journalism, and one that would lead her around the world. After working as a journalist for Fairfax for several years, dabbling in print, radio and TV journalism, Sandra took a leap of faith and rel...ocated to Jakarta, Indonesia. At the Jakarta Globe, she worked her way up to Managing Editor of a corporate-lifestyle magazine. It was whilst working in Jakarta that she began covering human rights issues, where she contributed towards the Inter Press Service for the United Nations. She then took a career change as a media consultant for the United Nations Population fund. Sandra then worked for the ABC in Australia and Washington DC where she worked on covering Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico and the Las Vegas mass shootings. She now works as a producer at CBS News 24 hour digital channel in New York City. Sandra has already helped with the coverage of several major events such as when Robert Mueller’s report into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election dropped earlier in 2019. Sandra has more than a decade of print and broadcast. Sandra completed a Bachelor of Journalism - Bachelor of Commerce (Marketing) in 2010. https://twitter.com/sandrasiagian
