Before moving to Chicago, she worked as a General Assignment, Political and Investigative reporter with News 12 Networks, spending three years covering the five boroughs of New York City.
Sabrina told stories throughout pandemic, in the epicenter of New York's outbreak. She reported on months of unrest and protests in the wake of George Floyd's death, uncovered millions of missing federal dollars from the federal Restaurant Revitalization Program, and covered the 2021 New York City mayoral election from start to finish.
Her investigations have uncovered disorganization within the New York City's Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB), which oversees NYPD complaints, and has exposed mismanagement in city government resulting in unnecessary COVID related fines to small businesses. That work prompted new legislation to help those businesses at the city level.
