Prior to tech, Dominique was a journalist for 10+ years. She reported for The Oregonian, The Desert Sun, and The Wall Street Journal in China. She covered financial markets for real-time newswires from Hong Kong, as well as China’s property market frenzies, rising debt load, and urban development plans from Beijing.

In 2019, she traveled the world for six months, writing travel essays about the places she visited, including more than a dozen countries like Indonesia, Senegal, and Croatia, before returning home to California. Later that year, she joined 23andMe to develop content strategies for genetic health reports.

At Google, she is now helping to train large language models to find and explain noteworthy insights and trends in your personal health and wellness data at Fitbit using friendly, empathetic, and accurate language.

In her spare time, she writes fictional short stories and is working on her debut novel about the Chinese railroad workers who built America’s transcontinental railroad.
