Laurel Clark joined Global Edmonton in April 2009.
Laurel has reported on major news events in all three capitals on the Prairies. Some of the most poignant parts of her career include covering the June 2010 house explosion in north Edmonton, the sentencing of Saskatchewan father Christopher Pauchay, and the funeral for Greyhound bus murder victim Tim McLean Jr.
In the summer of 2010, Laurel was recognized with a National RTNDA award for a feature about Edmonton sex trade workers and how an RCMP task-force helps them get off the street.
Laurel says "The most rewarding part of the job is when you discover your story has made a difference in someone's life. I believe in the work we do, so when I see people benefit from the stories we tell it's incredibly fulfilling."
Laurel graduated with a Bachelor of Journalism Highest Honours from Carleton University in Ottawa. She interned with CBC London (England) for six weeks during university, producing a documentary about a British researcher who lives with wolves.
Born and raised in Winnipeg, Laurel now calls the City of Champions home. When she's not reporting the news, Laurel travels as much as she can. Backpacking adventures have taken her through Southeast Asia, Europe and parts of the U.S. and Caribbean.
