Sonya Gavankar: TV reporter, former Miss DC + the "face of the Newseum"

Sonya Gavankar is an award-winning television personality who can be seen hosting programs on PBS, BGTV, and MHz Networks. Her career has spanned a wide range of shows—from international food to hard news.

She serves as The Face of the Newseum, hosting live interview programs, and appearing in video installations, video blogs, and game shows. It’s her job to bring a cohesive voice to the Newseum’s 250,000 square feet of exhibit and interactive programming.

In 1997 she represented Washington, DC, in the Miss America Pageant and for a decade produced the annual Miss DC Pageant teaching young women the best way to present themselves both onstage, in the media, and in job interviews.

In her free time, Gavankar goes behind the camera. Her photography has been shown in several Washington-area galleries, and she is a casting director for independent films.

Fox herself is amazed at the contrast between her childhood — spent growing up poor in Shelbyville, Indiana — and her professional life of interviewing many celebrities and US presidents. We were excited to talk to her about her interesting journey.
