hey howdy hey
my name is justine and i’m your expert encourager! i talk a lot about being a writer, an educator, and what it’s like to be an american who’s filipino.
so yeah, i'm a teacher again. i've worked as a service coordinator in nyc, as the front desk of a sleepaway camp in pennsylvannia; directed people to the right aisle for canned soup in new jersey, and took a chance on my first business for a month in boston.
