Sibyl Muñoz

I suck at coloring inside the lines. Really. My kindergarten teacher frequently complained about that. Good thing I've always had a way with words.

 

I'm a native Texan who became a (Northern) Californian, and now I'm a Chicagoan. Which makes me a ChiTexaFornian? My current life ambition is to make a coffee table book solely comprised of people's faces when the Chicago winter wind hits them. 

​

My professional experience ranges from writing a wide variety of advertising and marketing materials to convince people that they want to take out another student loan and spend two years earning a masters, to tweeting about Big Macs and fries for McDonald's, and running PR and social media for Women's World Cup champions and Chicago's pro women's soccer team.

 

Before all of that, I sold legally addictive stimulants to the masses! How does my Starbucks experience correlate to my writing? It forced me to have a sense of humor about what I do, and it gave me seven years of direct marketing and consumer research. 

 

I'm not shy, at all. My five-person family routinely sat me next to the stranger on airplanes. I lack fear when presenting to important people, I once treated a panel of Leo Burnett judges like they were my best friends. It worked out pretty well for me.

 

As a competitive swimmer since the age of four, I'm rather...spirited. I like to win: I once tackled an 8-year-old in an Easter egg hunt. We were related and he was cheating, so it was almost, kind of, okay. Still, I work best with a team. I like having other people to bounce ideas off of and to keep me in check. What I may lack in experience, I make up for in God-given talent and sheer stubbornness to succeed. 

 

I am the person you want next to you at 3 am when something is due at 9 am. For humor and work purposes.
