Hi! My name is Kristenne Gicum-Quirante, going by the nickname Tin, a writer and editor based in Cebu, Philippines.

I have been professionally writing since 2011, focusing mostly on digital marketing. 

Over the years, my work has covered a wide range of content — from newspaper articles and blog posts to web content, technical documentation, creative writing, and editing.

In 2017, after becoming a mother, I left the corporate world and transitioned to remote work. 

I currently work as a lead copywriter and content strategist for a digital marketing company.

Nanay in the Philippines means "mother," thus the blog name Writing Nanay.

This blog is my personal outlet as I navigate the ever-evolving journey of motherhood. 

Just when I think I have it all figured out, my little ones grow, and a new challenge emerges. 

I write about the beautiful chaos of motherhood, the realities of working from home, and the delicate balancing act of managing a career while raising little ones. 

From babywearing and parenting to personal reflections and product/service reviews, I cover a whole lot more — because motherhood is anything but one-dimensional.
