About

I’m 35, Chinese Filipina. I grew up in the Philippines and lived there nearly all my life. I spent my twenties studying and working in Metro Manila. I grew up in a large family and that influenced my upbringing and values in life.

In 2016, I met my Australian husband through work. We married in 2019 and, in 2021, moved to Melbourne to settle down here. In 2024, I gave birth to our first child.

My hobbies and interests include gardening, blogging, strength training, and maybe reading—I’ve slowed down considerably in the area of books. I’m passionate about sustainability and ‘closing the loop’.

For my educational and professional background, I graduated with honours from the University of the Philippines, with a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering.

I was a pretty good student, writer, and tutor even then, so I suppose it was sweet serendipity when the technical writing field found me. My first job was in 2012, as a technical writer in what was then Nokia Siemens Networks. I’m still passionate about content writing, knowledge management, and teaching other people the few things I know.
