I wear many different hats at the same time. I'm a science writer, editor, mentor, researcher, strategic communication consultant, and STEM education advocate all rolled into one.
These days, I write and read about agriculture and food security but I've always been fascinated by physics and cosmology, astronomy and space science and technology applications, archaeology, meteorology, and marine science. If I have time, I try to work on science policy, gender in science communication, and other topics that show the relationship between science, technology, and society.
I gravitate toward stories and studies that allow me to analyze concepts, phenomena, and issues and their relationship to society and current events. This has helped me win recognitions both in the Philippines and abroad.
Armed with more than a decade of experience working with Philippine and international media, tech companies, startups, public relations agency, non-profits and research institutions, I still consider myself a work in progress, always eager to learn, always eager to ask questions.
