Jee Y. Geronimo

Jee Geronimo knew she wanted to write as early as high school, but all throughout college did not know what exactly to write about.

She explored all possibilities as a Communication major in Ateneo, even joining the school publication The GUIDON and spending her internship with investigative news magazine Newsbreak. It was not until her first job in a small high school in Laguna that she found what she is most passionate about: education.

As a reporter, Jee first covered the promising sector of education. She still believes good education governance means cascading every reform down to the last teacher and student. She also covered the health and environment sectors for Rappler.

Today, Jee is part of Rappler’s Central Desk, handling most of the world, science, and environment stories on the site. She also (giddily) pitches stories related to the fascinating world of Hallyu. She has decided to live vicariously through Asian dramas until she starts backpacking across the continent. She also hopes to visit Israel someday to retrace the steps of her Savior.
