Soaad Hammoud is a senior double-majoring in journalism and creative writing. She is from Orlando, Florida, she speaks both spanish and english fluently as they are both her first language. She loves going to the beach and collecting seashells. When it is warm outside, she enjoys reading a book under the stars.
Now, with this current cold weather, you may catch her during her free time playing with the snow and throwing snowballs at her friends any chance she has. Or looking through the Sky Guide application to see when the next meteor shower happens. She is planning to use her telescope on April 22 to see the Lyrids and May 7 for the Eta Aquariids.
Soaad was at NewsChannel 9 WSYR-TV last summer as a news intern; shadowing and learning from everyone working at the news station with their advice and experiences. She has been involved in WTOP-10 for the past three years now. She has been an assistant producer and an anchor. Currently, she is a reporter for the Spring 2026 semester. While this is Soaad’s last semester, she cannot wait to try the different news roles during her time in BRC 429 and learn from her experiences with her peers.
