What I'm looking for

I seek editorial roles focused on Philippine English localization and educational content, offering collaborative teams, clear processes, and growth opportunities.

I am a detail-oriented editor and language specialist with a strong command of Philippine English and deep familiarity with Filipino culture and contemporary media. I have substantial experience editing localized educational and digital content for diverse Filipino and international audiences.

At Rex Book Store and StrongMind Learning Partners I led editorial projects for Philippine K–12 and US K–12 digital modules, ensuring linguistic accuracy, instructional clarity, and cultural authenticity while improving editorial workflows and turnaround times.

I excel at balancing linguistic precision with a natural, engaging tone, providing quality assurance, style consistency, and practical localization insights that strengthen learner engagement and brand voice.
