About

Hi, I’m Monica Tolete, a results-driven Video Journalist and Social Media Producer with 5+ years in fast-paced digital newsrooms. I research, report, and produce multimedia content—shooting and editing video, and publishing social-first stories across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and X. I’ve covered breaking news, live events, and Capitol Hill in real time, blending editorial instincts with strong Premiere Pro skills and data-driven storytelling.

I excel at building audience-focused journalism that informs and engages. I lead cross-platform content, analyze performance metrics, and stay ahead of platform updates to inform creative strategy. Fluent in English and Filipino, with working knowledge of French and Italian, I’m inspired by international affairs, art, fashion, and sustainable business practices.
