Sally's stories have provoked people to action -- a Seattle Times piece she wrote on Hmong farmers who lost their crops in a hailstorm prompted a slew of donations to the family who normally sold their flowers at the city's famed Pike Place Market. Another article, about how a city sold one of its best buildings to a poor Dot-com developer and was in deep trouble trying to get it back, caused voters to demand an explanation.
She reported and wrote a piece on the nation's rise in Latino drop out rates, and went undercover into a Boston school to learn the true causes and get beyond statistics.
Sally has been honored by speaking at the University of Washington and the Asian American Journalists Association events. She recently led a panel at the UNITY convention in Chicago. The Freedom Forum honored her as a Chips Quinn Scholar and the Seafair Scholarship Organization awarded her the Academic Award.
Other publications she contributes to include Cooking Light, MSN.com, Latina, American Baby, In Style, Diversion and Glamour.
