Available to hire
I am a writer and editor with a track record across publishing, government communications, and corporate branding. My work spans creating novels, essays, speeches, and marketing materials, aimed at engaging diverse audiences and shaping public understanding. I have published multiple books, written for national newspapers, and led brand and communications initiatives for major institutions.
In 2023 I published The Maps of Camarines with Penguin Random House and have continued to write, teach, and freelance, balancing creative pursuits with practical communication projects. I enjoy mentoring others, exploring socially relevant themes, and delivering clear, persuasive writing across print and digital media.
