I'm a seasoned financial and data journalist from the Philippines with
over a decade of experience covering macroeconomy, public finance,
banking, and the financial markets. I'm currently a graphics reporter
for Reuters, designing charts and other visuals to better tell stories behind economic data.
I'm a policy researcher on the side with interest on assessing the impact of public policies on society and economic development. Outside work, I manage the Data Dictionary Project, a data-driven news website dedicated to producing quality data and graphics journalism in the Philippines.
I studied in Manila, Seoul and New York, and worked with people in same locations as well as London and Southeast Asia. I am currently based in New York City. When not doing journalism, you'll see me catching the latest horror film in theaters or with a coffee in my hand in the park.
