​Lameese is an Edmonton-based radio news anchor and storyteller, heard on 880 CHED/Global News Edmonton. Alongside anchoring, she is a radio host and social media lead for Pop Up Conversations with the Make! Studios, where she interviews Canadian artists, exploring their creative processes, inspirations, and the stories behind their work. Her path into broadcasting was unconventional. She spent over a decade teaching English in the mountains of Lebanon, where she developed a passion for documenting human stories, particularly the stories of Syrian refugees. Back in Canada, she trained at NAIT’s Radio and Television program and co-hosted Film Score Vault, a radio show focused on movie soundtracks. Today, Lameese believes the most compelling stories are the ones that connect us, spark understanding, and give voice to experiences that might otherwise go unheard. She approaches every story with curiosity, empathy, and a commitment to meaningful connection.
