Discovering a Passion for Writing

Ms. Freda’s career has been characterized by resilience and tenacity. She began her professional journey working for the Provincial Government of Antique, Philippines.

In 1987, Ms. Freda began an exciting new journey by relocating to Kuwait to pursue a career in nursing at a prominent private hospital.
