I am a freelance writer and journalist with a Bachelors Degree in Mass Communication. I worked as a news writer, program producer and account executive in a radio station in the Philippines. I was a former Young Ambassador of Goodwill during the 26th Ship for Southeast Asian Youth Program (SSEAYP). I love travelling, cooking, gardening, reading books and photography. I am interested learning different cultures and languages.
