I'm an energetic millennial who loves to explore unique and thought-provoking stories that capture human interest and evoke impact to our global society. Prior to my freelance career in visual storytelling, I spent more than 2 years as a researcher and field producer for I-Witness, the Philippines' longest-running and most awarded documentary programme on television. It's a two-time recipient of the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award. Working for this programme enriched my capacity to investigate and develop narratives that move the audience. I have had more than three years of work experience in the field of public affairs documentary production under the mentorship of the two most distinguished journalists in the country: Ms. Cecilia “Cheche” L. Lazaro and Mr. Howie G. Severino. Apart from television production, I have also gained experience in freelance visual media production and filmmaking where I work with non-government organizations and private companies for PR and educational/training audio-visual presentations and advocacy productions. At present, I am challenging myself to move further in this field of documentary and broadcast journalism by exposing myself to different contents, scenarios, and life stories to develop an ambitious personal project.
