Strategic Communications. Content Governance. Editorial Operations. APAC Markets.
A Singapore-based professional with a journalist’s instincts. Intellectually curious, plugged into culture and tech, terminally online and AI-pilled.
At Esquire Philippines, I covered culture, politics, and current affairs, writing, producing, and editing everything from daily articles to investigative features. Over 12+ years I’ve moved across editorial, content operations, and strategic communications, working with brands like the NBA, Trust Bank, and Samsung across the Philippines and Singapore. I’ve managed high-volume content projects, enforced editorial standards across several publications, and built communications strategies and content governance frameworks for brands.
Now I’m learning code from the ground up, with a view to applying my skills in a more tech-forward context.
In all I do, I find purpose in telling stories that are honest, helpful, and human.
