Reysibel Kyle CABATUAN

Originally born in The Philippines and raised in Hong Kong where I recently graduated with a Fine Arts degree from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. I specialise in studio art practices, and I’m interested in exploring video art, digital image, sculpture, and installation as part of my artistic expression. Other than that, I enjoy dancing, watching movies, baking and enjoying the sunsets on the beach or on top of the mountains.

Enrico TUVERA III

After working in the banking and money exchange sector for a while, working as a library assistant is a very welcome change-in-pace. If it’s not obvious, I really love books, especially those in the thriller or suspense genre. If you happen to see me on my way to or going home from work, I will most likely have a book in my hand. Aside from books, I also enjoy finding and exploring different genres and types of music, particularly those by independent artists, and learning new things or developing new skills. I love learning and growing within Discovery College’s welcoming environment.
