Daniel previously served as the Editor and Director of the California Student Journalism Corps for EdSource\, a non-profit newsroom with the largest education news team in the state. Daniel has also coached and mentored interns for Bay City News and Local News Matters. He is also a guest speaker at the University of Southern California\, California State University\, Los Angeles\, and various other campuses.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nMaria Paula Ochoa\, National Network News Correspondent\, Telemundo Network \n“Challenge accepted\,” this simple phrase has encapsulated my professional value proposition ever since I started working at the age of 15. As an ambitious young woman seeking to progress\, learn\, and serve\, “no\, I can’t” wasn’t an option. Instead\, I always figured out what was needed\, even if I had to create it myself\, to assure that I successfully completed everything I did. \nI grew up in a third-world country where resources are scarce. I used intelligence\, determination\, and resourcefulness to achieve my biggest dream: to become a United States citizen and to be part of this great Country’s culture. For 20 years I built my career as a journalist and became a National Correspondent for one of the world’s leading national Hispanic networks – and earned 4 Emmy awards along the way. \nBeing an ethical\, fast learner who connects easily with people enabled me to become a credible and trusted source of information for the national Hispanic community. My expertise is centered on telling stories that provide accurate\, timely facts and information to provide greater access to services and resources that improve quality of life. I develop strategies and action plans to create compelling stories (both in words and visuals) to capture the attention of audiences and engage them by communicating important facts in a relatable\, clear\, and efficient manner. \nI accepted the challenge of making diversity a key strength and I have built my reputation and my entire career around helping organizations to formulate and deliver stories and information that change lives. \n\n  \n  \n  \n\n  \n\n\n\n\n<<RSVP HERE>>

She reports for WebMD\, Medscape\, MD Edge\, Psycom.net\,  Practical Pain Management\, Senior Planet/affiliated with AARP\, NextAvenue.org and other sites.

Through her reports\, L.A’s top medical experts become accessible and relatable. Throughout the coronavirus pandemic\, her stories played a pivotal role in helping Angelenos navigate their changing world. Besides volunteering to help groups that fund medical research and patient care\, Denise also represents KABC in her work with various Asian Pacific Islander and Filipino- American community organizations. \nDenise grew up in San Francisco. She attended Long Island University in Brooklyn and graduated from Mills College with a degree in communication.  At WXYZ-TV in Detroit\, she anchored the weekend news and hosted a weekly talk show. At KMPH in Fresno\, she was the main anchor of their 10pm news. \nDenise has received numerous journalism and community service awards including national recognition for her work with Asians for Miracle Marrow Matches. She received Emmy awards for News Feature Reporting and Outstanding Children’s Programming. \nOutside of work\, Denise is a wife and mother of a teen-aged son and daughter who both have big dreams. While she would like to say she is an avid runner or skier\, streaming historical documentaries and period dramas has become her latest obsession. \n  \nRobert Garrova \n \nRobert covers mental health at a time when L.A. — and the nation — is failing people who live with a serious mental illness. The L.A. County jail system is the de-facto mental health institution for our region\, and people who want help with their mental health often can’t get it\, even if they can afford it. He’ll work to help Angelenos understand how we got here and what reforms aim to change things. He’ll do this through the stories of people struggling with their own mental health and those trying to get care for a loved one. \nHis reporting has taken him to the edge of wildfires in California\, the White Mountains of New Hampshire\, steps away from a robot that’s now exploring Mars\, and into the homes of countless Angelenos. \nRobert has had many jobs in radio. He used to help produce and direct the flagship show for Marketplace\, a daily business and economic news show. He also spent a couple of years in the Northeast working as a reporter. He found his love of audio journalism while interning on LAist’s (formerly KPCC’s) Off-Ramp in 2013. \nHe was born and raised in SoCal. He is most proud when his journalism can help raise the voices of people struggling in this beautiful region stricken by inequality. \nREGISTER HERE
