Pauline Joyce Gonzalvo worked as a broadcast news producer in the Philippines before she came to Taiwan to study international relations for her MA. She has a BA in Broadcast Communication from the University of the Philippines-Diliman. A woman of faith and a musician, she used to breathe books on crime fiction and fantasy (and then academic readings came along). She is passionate about videography, video editing, and having meaningful conversations about life. In a world full of men, she considers herself an empowered woman—strong, confident, determined and independent; one who thinks, speaks and acts for herself. [Creative Non-fiction]
