Hi! I'm Monica, and I'm an LA-based content connoisseur with a love for stories that move, provoke, and inspire.

Over the years, reading (and spotting typos) on billboards and cereal boxes became essential to my growth.

I have worked in countless newsrooms as a freelance writer, journalist, social media editor, and copy editor. I previously worked as a digital producer and site and social media editor for two seasons of KCET's Emmy-award winning TV show, "SoCal Connected."

My bylines have appeared in several news outlets: VICE Tonic, VICE Broadly, NBC News (NBC Latino, NBC Asian America, NBC Out), KCET-LinkTV, KPCC Radio, New America Media, TIME Inc's HelloGiggles, Louisiana Weekly, India-West, the Aerogram, and more.
