My name is Drex, a researcher and social listening analyst from the Philippines with a background in journalism, writing, and data analysis.

My work focuses on research, media monitoring, social listening, and insight analysis, with experience handling large datasets, identifying trends, and producing clear reports for clients and stakeholders.
