Hi there, I'm Monica. I'm a senior reporter for HuffPost’s Life team. My first beat was writing about jobs, and it taught me how to cover everything. Now, I help people lead better lives and understand the chaos of the news with daily news stories, actionable advice, explainers, and profiles.

My writing has also appeared in Quartz, Fusion, Slate, Real Life Magazine and The Hairpin.

My background: I am a graduate of NYU's Studio 20: New Media and Digital Innovation program, I'm a member of Poynter's Diversity in Digital Leadership inaugural class, and I am Williams College's 2013 Jones Fellowship in Journalism recipient.
