Maria Sarrouh is a reporter at the Toronto Star covering COVID-19, health, education, social justice and culture. In 2020, she started working at Unity Health Toronto as the second wave of the pandemic began — a job that thrust her into writing stories about cutting edge COVID-19 research and other medical news. Before that, she freelanced for BlogTo and was an intern at TVO. She speaks English, French and Arabic and has strong ties to Toronto’s Arab communities.
