Helen Hernane

Senior Editor

While everyone watched The Devil Wears Prada and despised Meryl Streep's character, Helen realized her dream—to be a writer and magazine editor. It's been a rollercoaster ride since and she wouldn't have it any other way. Beyond work, she serves two demanding cats, plays board games, and travels (following a meticulous spreadsheet almost obsessively, but she swears she's a load of fun).

Charlie Ng

Lifestyle Reporter

Charlie's childhood email had "star," "sun," and "moon," and little did he know, those would become some of the things he loves most to see growing up. A nature lover by heart, he's often found on a hiking trail, at the beach, or wandering the streets with no agenda but just curiosity, spontaneity, and his film cameras. Outside of work, he's either indulging in underground beats, lifting weights like it's therapy, or nowhere to be found at all.

Gelene Peñalosa

Staff Writer

Gelene always thought that she was better at expressing herself through writing, but didn’t believe it till recently. So, she got over her love-hate relationship with writing, pursued her happiness, and found her voice.

If she isn’t hunched over her desk writing, she’s probably lurking on X, rewatching a series/anime she’s watched before while eating a bowl of popcorn, reading a history-related Wikipedia page, or chugging insane amounts of black coffee.

Katrina Ricarte

Features Writer

Katrina is a passionate storyteller. Whether it's writing about a fascinating personality, documenting a travel experience, or building magical fictional worlds, she strives to put those into words and create something worth telling. 

When not writing or drowning herself in books, you can find her traveling, doing song covers or replaying Disney movies and watching anime.

Hannah Taylor

Managing Editor

Inspired by her Canadian and Hong Kong roots, Hannah is passionate about writing across all fields, with an emphasis on people-focused pieces. A lover of new experiences, you can find her at the latest Instagram-worthy restaurants and bars, or immersed in the local art scene. In her free time, you can find her at the beach- writing or reading her latest obsession. Send her your book recs!
