About Tricia Sans Chan

Tricia is a graduate of Humber College's Journalism program and a semi-professional snoop. She was fortunate enough to have worked on two projects with the Institute for Investigative Journalism and gained invaluable experience and insight into investigative journalism and the role it plays in advocating for social and political change. She is dedicated to cleaning up her little corner of the world and amplifying the voices she believes need to be heard. She has been to more than 20 countries with nothing but a backpack, her passport and an insatiable curiosity about people. When she isn't chasing a story, she is most likely chasing her dog Scout. Tricia is based in Toronto and Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
