Samantha Incorvaia

I am a student at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University in Phoenix. In May 2016, I plan on graduating with a BA in Journalism and Mass Communication and a minor in U.S. History.

I currently work at azcentral sports as the Arizona Sports Awards intern after spending summer 2015 as a Dow Jones News Fund business production intern. I am a staff reporter and former copy editor and dining editor for the "Downtown Devil". In spring 2015, I covered health and sciences with Cronkite News's Phoenix digital reporting bureau. I've interned at The Cronkite Journal, the Cronkite School's news and alumni magazine, for summer 2014.

When I am not working or studying, I also set up and clean up events and give tours at the Cronkite School as a Cronkite Ambassador. I also volunteer to give tours of the ASU Downtown Phoenix Campus with Downtown Devil's Advocates.

Born in China in 1995, I was adopted in December 1995 by a single mother that brought me back home to Oceanside, NY. After the events of 9/11, my family and I moved to sunny Chandler, Ariz. in 2002.
