Previously, I worked as a Multimedia Consultant at the United Nations ESCAP (Economic and Social Commission of Asia and the Pacific) where I led Brand Strategy and supported with graphic design, webcast event design, and more.As of November 2019, I graduated with a masters degree in World Food Cultures and Mobility at the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Italy.As a digital communications strategist and multimedia artist, I work with social media content planning and production, graphic design, photography, videography, copywriting and voice over. My mediums are both online and print.As a food creative and gastronomer, I have done recipe development, food styling, online publishing, and restaurant entrepreneurship, operations and marketing. In 2017, I opened an experimental Filipino restaurant - Persephone: A Seasonal Kitchen.
