Michaelene Gabriel (Tagalog Linguist)

Michaelene is a Filipina with a deep love for literature, language, and children—a passion beautifully nurtured by her family. She advocates for literacy & creativity, believing language is a superpower! When not working as an editor, linguist, and translator, she is a paraeducator and stands behind the mic at her church. Sometimes, she writes.

A lifelong learner at heart, Michaelene is educated in the Philippines, San Francisco City College, and the University of California-Berkeley, graduating with flying colors.
