With three strong years as a media practitioner, several years as a college insructor, and years as a content and copy specialist, I have become a channel of factual information and efficient marketing and communication practices that is delivered and applied quickly, creatively, and clearly.

Being a journalist

I am proud of my journey as a journalist. I learned so much from the people I met and I was able to see the importance of being informed.

It was the hype of being in the field and following the news that made everything a memorable journey.

On April 8, 2017, Kuya Macky was not the cameraman on duty. He was on standby. I was with my buddies Kuya Ken and Kuya Jay, but we are probably going to take Kuya Macky’s title after what happened that day.
