My name is Carmela, and I write about new media, journalism, politics, and random interesting things I’m finding all over the web. I was born and raised in Manila, in the Philippines, studied political communication at the University of Pennsylvania, and now live and work in Washington, DC.
Ever since I can remember, I’ve always been interested in the Internet and what it can do, how it is changing the way we communicate, the way we take in information, and the way the world works. I now work in online communication in one of the most politically engaged cities in the world, and I love it.
I write because I think all these things matter. And because I think it would be fun to join in on the conversation.
