About Me
I come from a family of writers, educators and lawyers, which perhaps led me to becoming an
analytical person who is passionate about reading, writing, religion and spirituality, education, selfimprovement, and helping others. My personality and aptitude make me suitable for any work related to
accounting, writing, conducting library/traditional and online research, tutoring, and performing computeraided tasks.
During my spare time, I enjoy collecting clippings of periodical articles about business trends,
education, government, geopolitics, information technology and travel, among others. I also spend my free
time reading about philosophy, history, law and literature. For my physical exercises, which I engage in to help
me be effective at work, I mostly prefer jogging and cycling. I also enjoy traveling to beautiful natural
environments, churches and museums.
