Panelist & Resource Speaker
for Independent Publishing
I delivered various talks about independent publishing as a form of institutional critique for various institutions and community-led initiatives for the sake of elevating the discourse surrounding Philippine literature and its attendant politics through discussions surrounding art & politics, critical theory, philosophy, and feminist theory both nationally and internationally.

Peer Reviewer for Literary Section
Kritika Kultura
- Enforced a four-step literary method for evaluating works (reparative reading, paranoid reading, critique, and constructive feedback)
- Critically engaged with form and content as prerequisites to the work's conceptual project
- Conscientious assessment with ecological metonyms, references, diaspora studies, identity politics, and institutional critique as prerequisites to a strong organizing metaphor to critically engage with writing about hybridity
- Structured a framework for critical-creative thinking when employing the page as a two-dimensional blueprint in which the author may architect their work and use words to give the architected essay bones

Education

Certificate | University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
This course taught me skills in instructional and cultural curriculum development, community-based needs assessment, educational philosophy, inter-cultural studies, hybrid critical-creative thinking, gamification, adult learning, strategies in micro-lesson courses, and assessing accessibilities of state-funded public universities for the marginalized and disenfranchised.

Bachelor of Arts | University of the Philippines Los Baños
My undegraduate degree in Communication Arts as a Writing major has taught me how to cross-pollinate mathematics, sciences, statistics, political sociology, feminist philosophy, mythologies, folklores, cultural studies, languages, and translations into my writing practice and transmute these disciplines from theory into praxis.
