Robyn Bell

Robyn was born and raised in Victoria, but spent just over a decade in Toronto, Montreal and, briefly, the UK. Now, she's back in her hometown, ready to dive into everything going on in BC's capital. Before joining Capital Daily, Robyn studied journalism at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson) and visual journalism at Concordia University. She previously worked in corporate learning & development, copywriting and has spent years freelancing as a feature writer. When she's not covering Victoria news or doom scrolling online (for journalistic purposes, of course), she can probably be found at the movies, a concert, or on a hike.
