I am a versatile creative focused on crafting text, video, and graphics content for various media platforms.
Rooted in a journalism background, I am well-versed in the art and science of creating content that aims to captivate audiences, shape public opinion, and persuade minds.
I have written over 200 text copies for both campus and national media outfits. I have also created and edited about 30 videos for personal and organizational projects, one of them clinching an award at the Philippine Journalism Research Conference in May 2023.

Journalism school has trained me to write clearly and concisely.
I started my career in writing early when I joined The Philippine Star as an intern and, eventually, as a part-time Assistant Social Media Producer. There, I developed my skills in writing on various topics, both in text and video formats. I even learned social media management along the way.
Feel free to view my writing samples below to see how I craft words into narratives.

My best-written works on text.
This is my first published video story for The Philippine Star. I co-wrote this with my former mentor at the company during my internship. As a video-savvy person, I enjoyed working on this project as it exposed me to the visual side of writing. I applied my keen eye for visual narratives, which I use in video editing, to author the script for this audio-visual package.
After making my first video story, I got to team up with my mentor again to write another script for #PhilippineStarExclusives. This time, I had more freedom to work on the project. I did things like transcribing the interview, choosing the best soundbites, and writing captions and thumbnails. It was a chance for me to show my visual storytelling skills.
Unlike the other videos I worked on in English, this one needed to be in Filipino. It was a chance to show off my writing skills in my native language. I teamed up with a mentor from The Philippine Star for this project. Like my second video, I had more freedom to handle different parts of the production process. I transcribed the interview and wrote the first version of the script.
Writing is my niche, but versatility is my most vital asset.
I was a long-term assistant in the business-themed series of The Philippine Star called #PhilSTARProfiles. Here, I was essential in creating accurately encoded interview transcripts. The written soundbites from the interview will then be used as on-screen subtitles. As an assistant, I ensured the organization’s efficiency in producing short-form video content for social media.
