I am a Singapore-based freelance features journalist and writer who has written for both print and digital publications. I graduated from the University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, majoring in Communication.
I am always hungry for compelling human-interest stories and will probably do whatever it takes to let the voices of unsung heroes (or ordinary people) be heard.
If you ever find yourself seeking an extra pair of hands and an innovative mind, or when you are looking for an experienced writer with a bubbly personality, you may write to me at lerjunwrites@gmail.com
