  I am a Filipino-American journalist, international keynote speaker, and host with a background in TV news. Currently, I'm a contributor to Forbes and Harvard Business Review, where I focus on teaching women and people of color how to advocate for themselves in the workplace. As a speaker and corporate event host, I’ve shared stages with notable figures like President Bill Clinton and Janet Jackson. Previously, I was the main news anchor for Seattle's PBS channel, which garnered approximately 1.67 million viewers each week throughout Washington state and Canada. As a Leadership Strategy contributor to Forbes, I write a column on self-advocacy in the workplace, professional visibility, and the importance of taking up space. I also lead keynotes and corporate workshops for clients like Microsoft, AT&T, and the Society for HR Management (SHRM). As an extension of this work, I taught graduate students as an adjunct faculty member at the University of Washington Communication Leadership Master's Program, where I developed a course on executive presence, self-advocacy, and professional visibility. Prior to joining Seattle's PBS news station, I covered Washington state politics as a legislative reporter and hosted a technology news show. I have worked in media for more than a decade. Outside of work, I enjoy cuddling my rescue dog (@HiMyNameIsDorito on Instagram), listening to Taylor Swift, and reading culinary cozy mysteries. ➡️My "Why" Throughout my career, I’ve often been the “only” in many professional settings – the only woman, the only person of color, and/or the only millennial (the youngest) in the room. Over the past decade, I've navigated these challenging power dynamics while building a successful career in media, despite being told I was “too young” to succeed in TV and "too ambitious." These experiences taught me the importance of advocating for myself and taking up space unapologetically. My greatest passion in life is sharing these skills and lessons with others, so they can thrive (not just survive) in their careers. ➡️Speaking & Emceeing My keynotes and corporate workshops cover: - self-advocacy & professional visibility, - strategies for communicating with confidence & credibility, - self-promotion without being disingenuous or "too salesy," and - the importance of taking up space in the workplace, especially for women & people of color. ➡️Inquiries: www.starlasampaco.com/contact Forbes
