ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Reina Trisha Narvaez

Apprentice

I love to write creative pieces, as well as professional papers. Philosophy and psychological matters attracts my interest, thus allowing me to jive well in a certain community. Aside from the technicals, I do paintings, music, and videos as part of my free time. Reading has become a habit of mine which, I think, is the non-negotiable side of me. More so, exploration and taking risks are qualities of mine that I could share, other qualities are for others to say. My MBTI is INFJ with Type 8w9 personality. I like listening to music and curate underated songs.
