More about me

I’m an aspiring writer and photographer.  I blog about how a Pinoy (short for Filipino), discovers and lives a different life in Germany.  I am living in Hamburg, Germany, doing an internship at the World Future Council.  My work involves policy research, analysis, and advocacy on renewable energy, environment, and sustainable development.  I am almost done with my MSc in Environmental Governance programme in Freiburg where I spent my first two years in Germany.

Before pursuing my graduate studies in Germany, I worked for the National Economic and Development Authority under the Natural Resources Division of the Agriculture Staff.  Here I spent a two-and-a-half years as a public servant, evaluating projects, programs, and policies and administering secretariat support to the Philippine Council for Sustainable Development.  It was my means to pay-it-forward for getting the opportunity to study at the University of the Philippines, Los Banos wherein I earned my BSc. in Human Ecology.

Now I am contemplating to do a PhD, study photography, or go into environmental journalism.  Or why not do all of the above at the same time?

If you have writing projects, photography gigs, media assignments, please let me know and probably we can collaborate.
