Writer. Leader. Griever.
Hola/Kumusta/Hey There!
You've found my professional website - where you can find out more about the work I've done, the work I want to do, and the organizations and people I'm in community with. On top of growing my work as a writer I have been leading work in complex systems and I am also an equity-centered, anti-racist strategist, facilitator & coach - who happens to be navigating the world as a griever.
As I grow my professional portfolio beyond the 10 years of public systems work that helped get me here, stay tuned for more. For now, thank you for being here! - NM

Niki Magtoto, is a writer, leader and griever, born and raised in San Francisco, who believes more than one thing can be true at once, and maybe that's because she’s of Filipina, Mexican, Irish, and Cape Verdean ancestry, or because she grew up in a micro-neighborhood that was on the border of two very different and quintessentially San Francisco neighborhoods - the periphery of neighbor and hood (#UpperNoe, #IYKYK). She never intended to get into education, thought she could save the world with writing, and is a CisHet Femme who was raised in a community of educators, first responders, activists, artists, and the occasional Drag Queen. She started college in Upstate NY the week of 9/11, tried to go abroad her junior year but SARS1 broke out, and graduated during the 2005 recession. To round out her educational background, she applied to the graduate program she completed in 2009-10 because it didn't require the GRE. Since 2022, she coordinates, project manages, facilitates, writes, leads, and grieves from a place of honesty with transparent vulnerability and welcomes others to do the same, in both their personal and professional lives. She continues to navigate all things grief, late-stage capitalism, pivoting dreams, and living in San Francisco.
