Sylvie Tanaga

I'm a writer and editor with an interest in culture, identity, literacy, and humanitarian concerns. I write opinion pieces for various media outlets (from 2008, primarily on Chinese-Indonesian issues) and biographical books. I've also worked as a social researcher, media coordinator, and communications professional for a variety of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), developing communication strategies based on field tales and preparing policy papers for politicians.

Cross-cultural experiences and transdisciplinary scientific backgrounds prepared me to examine challenges from both macro and micro perspectives. I believe in storytelling's ability to highlight vital life values and convey messages to stakeholders. I love reading books and participating in literacy-related volunteer activities with the local community.
