SKILLS & INTERESTS

I am not simply passionate, yet action-driven as well. Fluent in American English, Mandarin and Filipino, and can converse in American English, Mandarin and Filipino. I am proficient in MS Office, and am very much open to learning other programs including Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign. I enjoy watching television shows and films, blogging, cooking, listening to the Beatles and writing poetry. My drive to put my passion for writing into action pushes me to do nothing but my very best. My experience working with non-government organizations that advocate for health equity and education have given me a unique perspective of society, a point of view that I hope to utilize for the better during my time as a staff writer.
