At 19, she was the very first local writer to bring attention to Siargao, her childhood summer paradise, by extolling its natural wonders in Surigao Today and The Freeman. She worked as a radio presenter, anchored a travel show on FM radio and was an ABS-CBN correspondent in Dubai. She has written about travel, art, history, culture, and environment in local and international publications and online sites.
