ABOUT
Straight from the source
I was born in Ormoc City, Leyte, in the eastern part of Central Philippines. I spent most of my life here and studied abroad in Singapore on a scholarship by United World College. I am currently on a gap year for several reasons: I need time to recharge after such an academically-demanding course, I want to explore my interests and passions before committing to a degree, and I want to gain experience working with people outside of a classroom setting.
​
The concept of identity does not sit well with me. I feel like I am constantly growing a new skin and shedding my old one. Like water, I conform to the environment around me, yet what remains the same is the fact that no one else could be me. Call me an artist, a leader, or a friend, at the end of the day, I am simply 'Amanda'.

Thank you for taking the time to absorb my words.
