Maria Guadalupe Pantejo

Born in Davao City, Guada brings a network of experiences to the table. Her career path has wound through the demands of the call center industry, the challenges and rewards of teaching English online, and even a stint in freelance copywriting. Those freelance days, before AI assistants like Gemini and ChatGPT became widespread, were a crucible that honed her writing skills and instilled a strong work ethic.

Having a natural tendency towards introversion as well as being homeschooled and raised in the suburbs, she finds solace in getting lost in a captivating thriller novel, a good show or movie marathon, and in gardening at home. But beneath this calm exterior lies a hidden talent! With an ear for music, she possesses the remarkable ability to play music by ear, acting as a real-life jukebox, able to recreate melodies on the piano after a single listen. However, Guada’s greatest accomplishment is undoubtedly the personal victory of stepping outside her comfort zone and forging connections with people around her, a testament to her ability to overcome her introverted nature.
