Sharon K. Sobotta is a writer, a journalist, an advocate, a doula and a mom. She has dedicated her professional career to advocating for gender equity, diversity and marginalized populations in her role as the director of the Women’s Resource Center at Saint Mary’s College of California and as a reporter and anchor for Pacifca KPFA. She is pursuing a dual genre MFA in creative non-fiction and screen writing. 

In 2009, Sharon transitioned from print journalism to radio reporting. As a social justice reporter, weekend anchor for Pacifica KPFA, Sharon has fallen in love with the platform of community radio for amplifying marginalized voices and important social justice causes ranging from #BlackLivesMatters to gender justice.

Sharon lives by the mantra that when life doesn't go as planned, it's best to embrace it as content initially..and then do something about it or at least write about it.
