Dominic was a previous Walker Communications Fellow, Fund II Appretince, and Communications Associate. His coverage highlighted initiatives and news throughout the ÃÛèÖAPP network, important equity, diversity, and inclusion work, the ÃÛèÖAPP on Campus program, and the 'people' stories at ÃÛèÖAPP.

As a first generation Filipino American from San Francisco, California, Dominic learned about the importance of conservation and environmental justice at an early age. Dominic's passion for supporting underrepresented voices inspired him to spearhead celebrations for Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month at ÃÛèÖAPP. When he is not writing and storytelling for the birds, Dominic enjoys specialty coffee, running, and watching the Golden State Warriors.
