An award-winning journalist and storyteller for Pulitzer Prize honored newspapers, I accepted California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s offer to be his senior speechwriter before embracing a corporate career. As the author of thousands of bylined stories, my strong writing and people skills fueled my passion for introducing authentic storytelling at Fortune 500 companies and tech startups. I have created three corporate newsrooms to drive narratives, emotional connection, and owned and earned media. I write for U.S. and international companies, drawing on an expertise in global retail, academia, politics, entertainment and technology – including SaaS, AI, data intelligence and digital crime and defense. The daughter of farmworkers with a tradition of storytelling, I edited a Pulitzer Prize winning newspaper project and led a corporate content team named Best Online Communications Team by Ragan Communications and PR Daily.
