About Simona Sanchez
Simona Sanchez is a technology journalist with a unique lens on the human side of innovation. With a Master’s degree in Sociology from the University of California, Berkeley, Simona brings a critical, culturally informed perspective to the world of tech reporting. She focuses on how technology shapes — and is shaped by — social behavior, identity, and power structures. Based in Oakland, California, Simona writes for Digital Current and contributes to outlets like MIT Technology Review, Protocol, and Slate. Her work often explores the societal implications of tech trends, from algorithmic inequality to labor dynamics in the gig economy. Her feature series on surveillance capitalism in public schools earned praise for its accessible yet rigorous reporting. Before transitioning to journalism, Simona worked in nonprofit data analysis and community research, experiences that now fuel her reporting with empathy and nuance. She entered the media world through an investigative fellowship at The Markup, where she combined sociological insight with hard data to unpack systemic issues in tech infrastructure. Simona is a regular panelist on tech ethics at conferences like RightsCon and SXSW, and she’s the creator of the podcast "Code & Culture," where she interviews developers, ethicists, and community organizers about the unintended consequences of innovation. When she's not writing, Simona enjoys backpacking the Pacific Northwest, collecting analog photography gear, and mentoring underrepresented voices in media and tech.
