Samantha Mehrotra 

Samantha is excited to be back in her home state and working in the Northland!

She came to WDIO after a year in Williston, North Dakota at KUMV-TV, the NBC affiliate. She worked as a reporter and anchor there and covered everything from agriculture to the booming oil industry. Samantha loved her experience in the Peace Garden state, and enjoyed immersing herself in the community.

Prior to joining KUMV, she interned at WCCO-TV, "NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams," and with the NBC News Political Unit in Washington, D.C.

Samantha grew up in Eden Prairie, Minnesota and graduated from St. Olaf College. She has a Bachelor's degree in Political Science with concentrations in Media Studies and Environmental Studies.

When Sam isn't in the studio, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She would love to hear from you if you have good story ideas.
