Elinel worked as a private dental practitioner and hospital dentist in the Philippines for more than a decade and is currently a US Registered Nurse. She is a member of California Writers, West Valley Communicators of Los Gatos, author of Elinelpoetry.com, was a health section contributor of Fashion Aesthetics and Beauty magazine in Manila, and was a Literary Editor of Dentinum Medicus, UERM College of Dentistry, Philippines.
Her passion in writing started at a very young age when her teacher at Holy Family Academy, Ms. Virginia Lambert, noticed her gift in writing novels at the age of thirteen. Mrs. Lambert urged Elinel to nurture, pursue, and achieve what she called a rare special gift and even offered full financial college support to develop her writing skills. Lambert who was diagnosed with terminal cancer said these words to her: “I am so blessed to have mentored you; in time you will get there and I will be very proud.” Lambert’s kind powerful words and her demise motivated Elinel to foster her skills in creative writing.
In addendum to writing, Elinel is known to her friends as a good-humored comedian. Her interests and hobbies also include playing the piano, flute, recorder, and other wind instruments, singing, traveling, arts and crafts, building and managing website, computer, and internet technology. Elinel is also battling a rare inborn genetic illness which she had fought undauntedly for many years. Moreover, she is a survivor of the second largest terrestrial eruption of the 20th century “The Mt. Pinatubo Eruption”.
