I work at the intersection of conflict, culture, and gender as a writer, strategic communicator, and policy consultant collaborating across government, advocacy, and academia.
Moving between London and Manila, I work with organizations, movements, and individuals navigating political and cultural complexity. My work is driven by a belief that building trust, understanding context, and telling stories with care are essential to meaningful change.
I was recognized as an Asia Pacific Obama Leader for my work in public health, democracy, and human rights.

What I Do
Through my consultancy, I help clients uncover the internal logics (the underlying motivations, beliefs, and cultural frameworks) that shape how people engage with issues, institutions, and each other.
This approach informs participatory strategies for:
-
Conflict sensitivity and peacebuilding
-
Advocacy and political strategy
-
Strategic communications and public engagement
-
Narrative framing and message development
-
Gender-just analysis and policy
My Approach
Whether I’m designing a communications campaign or mapping a conflict context, my work is grounded in listening, trust-building, and co-creation. I draw on experience across sectors and geographies, and I believe in working slowly and thoughtfully where it matters most.
I am invested in initiatives that challenge dominant narratives, bridge divides, and center justice and care.
