Senior Field Correspondent | [email protected]Camryn Sanchez is a senior field correspondent at KJZZ covering everything to do with state politics.
Prior to joining KJZZ, Sanchez worked for two years at the Arizona Capitol Times covering the state Legislature, with a focus on the Arizona Senate.
Sanchez studied journalism at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York. In college, she interned at the East Bay Express in Oakland, ELLE Magazine in New York, and the Yonkers Times in Yonkers, New York. She then worked at the Arizona Republic as a Pulliam Fellow covering the city of Phoenix before entering the state politics reporting arena.
