For a decade, Dazzle listened to the shoulds of the grown-up world, until she gave her coulds a chance and jumped aboard the writing train.
Now she draws from the passing scenes of a previous life in Marketing & Media, which once involved riding an ATV on lava trails and rolling out a reality TV show. Having snuck in some writing at every job, her work has been published in top Philippine fashion and travel magazines, on websites across Asia, and as content for global brands.
Madly in love with the ‘kidlit’ community, she is a member of various critique circles and groups such as 12X12 and SCBWI, where she’s met the warmest, most wonderful people.
Dazzle lives in Metro Manila, Philippines, where she attended top schools and graduated with honors. She attributes her education outside the classroom to the three things her parents always let the family spend on: books, food, and travel.
Her two kids and their dog provide her with endless material for stories. So she writes at a pace that if she were holding a quill, the feather would be on fire—and she’d keep writing anyway.
Dazzle’s debut picture book, WHEN AN ELEPHANT HEARS NO (Page Street Kids, 2024), illustrated by Estrela Lourenço, explores the nuances of this tiny, tricky word in a little elephant’s wild, wide world.
Dazzle and Estrela team up again for WHEN A RHINO HAS TO WAIT (Page Street Kids, 2025), a little rhino’s rough encounters with a powerful word that can stop a charge in its tracks…and steer rushers and rammers toward the practice—and pleasant surprises—of patience.
