Bio

Sonya Angelica Diehn completed her B.A.s in Linguistics and Fine Arts at Pitzer College (Claremont, Calif.) in 1998. A Tucson native and desert rat, she returned to her Arizona hometown in 1999 to work on issues focused around environmental protection and sustainability, the impacts of globalization, and in alternative media projects. In September of 2000, she co-founded the Arizona Independent Media Center, and continues to produce independent projects. She has been a member of Tucson non-profit video production company Pan Left Productions since 2001, and in July 2003 released her first solo video Oasis Under Siege: A Journey Through the Dying River.

In April of 2004, Sonya left Tucson and her five-year position with the Center for Biological Diversity to travel in South America for a 15 months. In her journey she continued to produce progressive independent video and work independently as a journalist.

Sonya Diehn is currently based out of Tucson as a reporter and environmental editor for the Courthouse News Service.
