nDash.com is a content creation platform that provides brands and agencies with access to the world's top freelance writers.
Since graduating from Journalism school in 2014, I have been "all over the place," dabbling in multiple disciplines and sectors, from cultural heritage, environment, agriculture, and development to technology, business, and marketing.
Currently, I work for an international non-profit organization as a full-time Strategic Communications Specialist focused on the following impact areas: sustainable development and the SDGs, climate change, gender & youth, and digital tools.
I bring with me considerable project management experience in the development and public sectors, having worked for the UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines (PH NatCom) for close to five years. With PH NatCom, I supported local, national, and international policies and projects related to heritage preservation and management, creative cities, freedom of information, and philosophy for children.
My freelance writing and editing portfolio, which spans over 10 years combined, highlights my ability to work with almost any topic. When developing content, I aim to add depth and nuance through research and critical thinking, with high regard for clients' needs, target audiences, and web readability.
I dream of a long-term career in the development sector, either communicating research outcomes for actionable policies, implementing heritage x tech x creativity initiatives at the grassroots, and/or telling human impact stories.

This label is slowly taking on its own meaning in Africa, where rice is increasingly being seen as a strategic crop, a pathway out of poverty, and for women, a significant opportunity.
Will the Philippines’ new national ID push the pedal on the digital economy? Or will it further complicate the country’s ICT landscape? The answer lies in the hands of the government. A few weeks ago, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) reported that they are on target to provide 70% of Filipinos (out of the 100 million total population) a national ID by the end of 2021. This is good news for Karl Kendrick Chua, the country’s Socioeconomic Planning Secretary, who says that the national ID
