Joie Frances Timbas was the Sports Editor of TomasinoWeb.

She first started in the organization in 2021 as a Sports Writer where her first published story, Immortalizing the gentle giant, was recognized in the 2022 Philippine Student Quill Awards. She now leads TomasinoWeb’s Sports section in the Writing department that covers everything UAAP-related and more.

Outside her beat, Joie is a Journalism senior who is busy beating deadlines and working on her thesis on understanding news avoidance. She also was an intern for The Manila Times under Sports and Regions.

When Joie is not writing, she’s somehow still stuck in the world of sports as she plays multiple sports, mostly basketball, badminton, volleyball and darts. When she gets physically tired, she turns to video games or gets sucked back into just watching sports, yet again.
