BEHIND OUR PAGES
Erika Zamora has been interested in stories for as long as she can remember and always has been carefully observing the lives and experiences of those around her. She developed the need to showcase the untold stories of the world as she witnessed the hardships of the OFW community she grew up with that and when she learned of the injustices and harm ordinary people (and even animals) face.
She got her start by dabbling in short stories, poetry, and of course, academic requirements. After graduating from university, she put her skills to the test and began to take up work in the communications field that would also allow her to tackle her different advocacies and principles. She has written speeches, news and feature articles, social media content, and other publications for the organizations she has been a part of.
She has a Bachelor's Degree in Diplomacy and International Relations from the Ateneo de Manila University.
