Hi! My name is Hoa Quách Sanchez (first name pronounced “Hwa”). I’m an award-winning writer, editor and storyteller who is still recovering from my journalism career. I love helping people and brands tell their stories as I think everyone has a great story to share!
I got an early start in writing when my very Chinese parents and older sister forced me to read a new book each week and write a summary on it while other children spent their days watching Saved by the Bell and playing ball in the streets. Despite the indoor days of my childhood, I have been able to develop social skills over time and have been fortunate to watch a few episodes of Saved by the Bell to catch up with my peers.
Of course, I’ve continued my writing career. As a journalist, I’ve received national and regional awards for my writing, feature reporting and investigations. As a communications pro, I’ve helped C-Suite executives and elected leaders from throughout the country tell their stories and share their opinions/ideas in an effective way. My client roster has included Qualcomm, HCL, Vistage and GumGum.
I’ve been named a “Woman Who Means Business” by the San Diego Business Journal, featured in BuzzFeed and Thrive Global during International Women’s Day and recognized by the California Legislature. I’m also a yoga instructor but I haven’t won anything for my perfect Warrior 2 yet.
The majority of my journalism work can be found on this website. Any stories posted belong to the organization that is credited. Excerpts and links may be used, provided that full and clear credit is given to Hoa Quách Sanchez and whichever site the content is from, with appropriate and specific direction to the original content.
If you’d like to work with me, please feel free to contact me at hoa@hoawrites.com. I love making new friends but I have yet to play ball in the streets.
