Mónica Guzmán is a digital life columnist at The Seattle Times and Northwest tech news startup GeekWire and a community strategist in media and startups. After two years of daily beat reporting for the Houston Chronicle and the Midland Daily News, she dove into digital in July 2007 as the first online-only reporter at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, where she developed the awarding-winning Big Blog with an eye toward social media and community collaboration. When the P-I shut down its print edition in 2009, she stayed on as the largest metro daily to go online-only made a groundbreaking transition. Guzman holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology from Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine. You can follow her on Twitter at@moniguzman. Email: moniguzman@gmail.com
