The past years have been extremely challenging. As lockdowns were implemented in Victoria, Australia, I often found myself working mostly from home. I was physical immobile while also virtually mobile.  Despite the everyday challenges of navigating stay-at-home measures (especially with limited movements and living away from my family and friends in the Philippines), I have managed to focus and work on my research projects and publications, taught in seminars, and also participated proactively in conferences, workshops, and even in a virtual fellowship. 

Today, I have received an excellent news from the Faculty of Arts and Education at Deakin University. 

I am very delighted to announce that I have been awarded the 2021 Faculty of Arts and Education Early Career Researcher Award for Career Excellence at Deakin University. Chosen as a recipient of the award in the School of Communication and Creative Arts (SCCA), I am very grateful for the recognition of my research on the intersections of digital media and migration, particularly on critically investigating the digital media practices of elderly people from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the following:

The committee of the ECR Research Award.

The Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation for supporting my research projects and providing mentoring opportunities.

My friends in Australia, including Eden, Cheenee, Nice, Alex, Nina, Jappy, Ethel, and Maria! And to friends who were previously based in Australia, including Oscar, Laurence, and Jay!

To my partner, who always puts things into perspective whenever I feel overwhelmed with the gazillion things that I need to finish and also make decisions.

My family and friends in the Philippines, who have been very supportive of my journey!


For scholars who have been inviting me to present and share my scholarly works. 


Looking forward to more years of producing impactful research, inspiring engagements and collaborations with scholars in Australia and overseas, workig with research institutes, and supporting migrant communities and organisations!

Maraming maraming salamat!
