I work at the intersection of conflict, culture, and communication as a writer, strategic communicator, and peacebuilding consultant collaborating across government, advocacy, and academia.
Rooted in both London and Manila, with a global reach, 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
As a writer, I explore themes in politics, culture, and travel, always with an eye toward nuance, voice, and complexity. My written work sits alongside my photography, which often focuses on people and place in transition.
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’m especially interested in initiatives that challenge dominant narratives, bridge divides, and center justice and care.
