I’m a Filipino-Australian interdisciplinary artist, writer and youth advocate based in Werribee. I work as an associate journalist with Good News West at Ylab where I’m writing stories that counter deficit-based narratives about Melbourne’s Western suburbs. I also volunteer and contract with Brimbank Youth Arts and Wyndham City Council’s youth advocacy group where I contribute to youth-led advocacy and arts programming. I’m interested in the advocacy side of creative practice. I enjoy connecting people with contemporary arts discourse and bringing spaces and conversations that are often concentrated within the inner-city into the communities I live and work alongside.
