WHO I AM. WHAT I DO.
The first article I ever wrote was awful. It was my first month at Elon University and my story was so bad that my editor-in-chief cut it from the paper. My editor lied and told me the story just needed “more time to develop” — a phrase we now use to mean garbage. That was three years ago, I haven't had a story cut since.

My young career in reporting has taken me to refugee camps in Jordan, Confederate rallies in the South, presidential inaugurations in the capital and so many more incredible places. At Elon, where I study Journalism and International & Global Studies — I am as obsessed with Elon News Network (ENN), the student-run news organization on campus, as ever. I'm from the Philippines but have been studying in the U.S. since 2014.

I hope my work in and out of class will lead me to a career as an investigative journalist. This website contains some of my best work, which is constantly in progress and a journey I'm happy to share.

MY BEST, SO FAR...
