About me
Hello!! I'm Elyssa, a proud Filipina and a junior at GEMS American Academy Qatar. There are currently only a few stories about Filipino and Qatar-based students on Borderless, and I'm happy to help bring more of their stories on the platform. I'm passionate about the arts, storytelling, journalism, and making international opportunities more accessible to students. Outside of all this, I love traveling and reading YA novels ๐ Feel free to connect! ๐๐ชฝ
