About

I'm Cheska, a multilingual communicator and project support specialist with a Master's in Local Development and experience across Italy, Germany, South Korea, and the Philippines. I've worked with social startups and public agencies on everything from outreach and partner mapping to multilingual content and communications.

"In each project, I aim to make information more accessible, conversations more inclusive, and ideas easier to act on — particularly across languages and cultures."

I thrive in international, remote-first environments where people are kind, the work is purposeful, and the systems are ethical. I'm especially drawn to projects in sustainability, gender equality, and inclusive development.

Born and raised in the Philippines, currently based in Italy, and working worldwide.
