About

Hello! I’m Sarah Parvini and I’m an award-winning journalist covering artificial intelligence for The Associated Press in Los Angeles.

I previously reported on the business and culture of video games for the Los Angeles Times — a beat that I pitched and created from the ground level. (Yes, I am a gamer.)

I’m passionate about writing compelling narratives that resonate with people and the detail work that comes with editing. I believe in the importance of clear communication and teamwork.

I worked for the LA Times for nearly a decade, covering topics ranging from breaking news to politics and immigration. I was also a beat reporter writing about California’s diverse communities with a focus on the state’s shifting demographics. I’ve had the opportunity to report from different corners of the country and world, including for stories on reproductive rights in Argentina and religious tensions in Ireland and Northern Ireland.

I was part of the LA Times team that won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the San Bernardino terrorist attack, as well as a member of the investigative unit that uncovered scandals at USC’s medical school. That thread of reporting led to stories about an abusive gynecologist at USC, which earned the LA Times another Pulitzer.

I’m the proud daughter of Iranian immigrants, and I speak fluent Persian as well as conversational Spanish and Italian.

When I’m not writing, you can find me with my nose in a book — probably lost in the realms of a fantasy novel.
