Personal statement

Working in the broadcasting industry has made me realize the impact of media to people’s lives. As a writer and producer, I feel more connected to where I live and the people around me with my deep knowledge of the city’s intricacies.  

To be given Hinrich Global Trade Leaders scholarship to pursue Master’s degree in International Journalism Studies in Hong Kong Baptist University - one of the best schools in Asia – is a great opportunity to further my knowledge in journalism and discover a deeper and wider sense of journalistic practice, not only in the Philippines but in Asia.

I aspire to become an influence of factual communication, and be an enabler of good journalism practices. With Hinrich Foundation Global Trade Scholarship and its community, I will be equipped with skills and experiences that will help me prepare in becoming a global trade leader.  This will also widen my network and opportunity in sharing cultures and best practices internationally.
