Rebecca Willson

I took my first step into the journalism industry in November 2022 when I moved to Salmon Arm to work for the Observer and Eagle Valley News. I graduated with a journalism degree in December 2021 from MacEwan University in Edmonton. I love reading and writing, and upon seeing a poster for the journalism program at my school, I knew that was the right fit for me. I also enjoy hiking and snuggling my cat, T’Challa (I am also a Marvel movie fan!).
