Monica Torres

Monica Torres is a senior reporter for HuffPost who writes about work/life, tech, consumer, and general lifestyle topics. She believes if you cover work, you cover everything, which has led her to write deep dives about whether child acting should still exist as a job and to interview service workers, hospice professionals, and CEOs about what we could learn from their jobs. As a service journalist, she enjoys helping people with news they can use and has covered everything from how to survive an unjust layoff to how to avoid getting scammed by gift cards and how to honor a dying pet on their last day. She is a graduate of NYU's Studio 20: New Media and Digital Innovation program and a 2016 member of Poynter's Diversity in Digital Leadership class. Her writing has also appeared in Quartz and Real Life Magazine. She is based in New York.
