Prior to joining ABC7, Cecilia was a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, where she worked as a political reporter covering San Francisco City Hall and broke numerous stories about Mayor Gavin Newsom's administration.

Cecilia also was a reporter for the Press Democrat in Santa Rosa and the San Bernardino Sun. She has held fellowships at the Poynter Institute and the New York Times.

Cecilia has received numerous awards for her newspaper reporting, including from the California Newspaper Publishers Association for a story she wrote about American Taliban John Walker Lindh, from the East Bay Press Club for overall beat reporting on San Francisco City Hall, and from the New York Times for her coverage of the first anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
