About

Hi, I'm Monica.

Words are my passion. 


Arranging them. Rearranging them. Choosing the right ones. Challenging the wrong ones. Stringing them together to captivate, educate, motivate, communicate.


Naturally, I built a career in content and communications.


I’ve honed my skills on creative agency, in-house marketing and state government communications teams. But my journalism roots will always influence how I work: question everything, check and double-check for accuracy, meet (or beat) deadlines, and tell a great story.


Most recently, I've brought that approach to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, where I edit long-form reports, tell employee stories, and use search data to help Fiscal Notes, the agency's flagship publication, reach more readers.


The story of my career? It includes:


Content strategy and creation 

Comprehensive content planning, calendar management, multi-format content creation for B2B and public-sector audiences, thought leadership development, storytelling, SEO/GEO strategy, analytics-informed optimization, content lifecycle management


Writing and editing

Copywriting and content writing, feature writing, editing, proofreading, fact checking, long-form and technical report editing, brand voice development, style guide creation and management, AI-assisted content generation


Communications

Government and public-sector communications, internal and external messaging, employee storytelling, stakeholder and leadership communications


Cross-functional collaboration and leadership

Project management, stakeholder and subject matter expert communication, agency and team management, program-level editorial leadership, feedback implementation


Platforms and tools

CMS, PM tools, Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, Semrush, Google Analytics and Search Console, generative AI tools



I live in Austin, Texas, with my husband, school-age child and Boston Terrier. I love spending time outdoors, traveling and cheering on my Texas Longhorns.


Let’s get in touch!
