Maria Evata Katarina Chandra (Eva)

Everyone can decide to make meaning through one’s habits, just like Dialogue’s new member, Eva. Eva has had a way with words since Junior High School. In the past, personal daily life stories, poetries, and ideas through the lens of social issues were the medium to deliver feelings. Therefore, her writing habit has been shaped since she was a school girl. Now, in the college years, in hopes of enhancing her writing skills, she is pursuing her curiosity of the journalistic field, and attaining more experiences as she takes part in Dialogue.

Before she joined Dialogue, several writing competitions trained her to be prudent in dealing with words and ideas. Lia told the accomplishment in Poetry Competition hosted by Ellunar Publisher that listed her poetry in the top 100. However, her interest in conveying written expression does not stop in individual competition. She plunges into journalism in Dialogue Magazine, an activity which is not familiar to her, with the aim of being more competent in reporting the news

Every single step matters to make a big leap like Nindi who started out writing from her own initiative and publishing to a blog until her works were placed in the top 8 based on a competition’s announcement. Accustomed to arranging words, Nindi is confident in contributing to Dialogue Magazine. By joining Dialogue Magazine, she expects to be more proficient in producing English texts. Last but not least, taking part in Dialogue builds up her optimism in arranging career paths.

Making a note of inspiration, feelings, and personal thought on a paper has been Anya’s typical avocation. She funnels her ideas through a daily journal. Having decided to be the part of Dialogue, Anya is looking for a productive life in this journalistic community. Her ambitions are improving her writing skills and carrying out knowledge for the future.

Enjoying dynamic visual art seems awesome, doesn’t it? From Flowrin’s perspective, design is impressive because it takes shape zestfully. Moreover, the passion led her to contributing in designing-related activities such as arranging the lay-out for journalistic class and taking the role of agenda designer in senior high school. Regarding Flowrin’s love of using her creativity, Dialogue attracted her for the reason that upgrading design skill is available in this organization and friends are present to make room for interaction.

Along the way showing her love for the social media industry, she fills in the occupied time by having side hobbies like managing her personal instagram account to earn money. Due to her position as social media manager, she hopes her involvement makes a positive impact on Dialogue Magazine’s social media. Furthermore, by getting involved in publishing social media content, it actualizes her mission rather than keeping it only in her mind.
