I am a magazine editor, published novelist and budding illustrator. My two novels are The Breakup Diaries (Summit Books, 2003) and Undercover Tai Tai (Marshall Cavendish, 2008).

My magazine experience includes working as Managing Editor for Cosmopolitan Philippines, and then Editor in Chief for teen magazine Candy and then Seventeen Philippines. I moved to Singapore in 2004 and became Lifestyle Editor, and then Beauty and Wellness Editor for the city-state's best women's fashion magazine, Female.

I have contributed to Marie Claire Philippines, Men's Health Singapore and Seventeen Singapore. I am passionate about wellness, inspiring others, and yoga, which is why I love writing about these topics.
