Like most reporters, Danielle Chiriguayo has dedicated much of her life telling stories. Growing up in the LA Unified School District, common complaints included "talks too much in class" and "gets distracted too easily." Who would've thought those two qualities were setting up the building blocks of a future journalist? Today, Chiriguayo works as a digital news producer at KCRW, an NPR affiliate station in Southern California. In that role, she works to bridge the gap between broadcast and digital, creating enterprise-level, original reporting and supporting broadcast teams in building immersive multimedia projects. Prior to KCRW, Chiriguayo worked at Marketplace, where she wrote digital-first features and trend-based stories, helped develop short-form content, and provided CMS support. When she isn't working, Chiriguayo can be found watching a sunset, checking out new music, and yearning for the return of LA nightlife.
