Sarah Mattalian
Reporter covering national legislation and policy through a specified lens
About Me
I’m a DC-based journalist at Inside Washington Publishers, primarily covering environmental policy and labor regulation, tracking legislative bills and court cases around the country, writing for a specialized audience of industry groups, legal professionals, advocacy organizations and lawmakers.
I graduated from American University graduating in May, 2023, majoring in Journalism and minoring in Creative Writing and Spanish, having received a translation certificate. I’m passionate about policy, languages and reading and I’m always working on some sort of writing project.
​
Previously, I interned as the Washington Correspondent at The Durango Herald, worked in daily news at NBC4 Washington and served as the Managing Editor of the news section at AU's student paper, The Eagle.
​
In the past, I interned at Fundación PorCausa, an investigative publication in Madrid, Spain, where I reported entirely in Spanish. In my home of the Garden State, I interned at the New Jersey Press Association as a news intern, focusing on state legislation.
​
I write about topics ranging from politics and legal issues to culture and human interest stories, and I’m constantly seeking out new opportunities to report, learn and travel.
