Work History
I left a modest publishing career in the Philippines where I worked as proofreader, copyeditor, and research manager for different publishing entities before Saipan beckoned, where I worked as a journalist full time. Then I found myself warming up to the healthcare industry as I transitioned into becoming a nursing assistant. And the adventure continues.
