Dr. Ilona Reyes

Dr. Ilona Reyes's Backstory

Raised amid bustling city libraries, Ilona grew fascinated by the fragile threads of oral tradition that rarely reach academia. Now a university folklorist, she treks to isolated marshland villages to document myths, songs, and rituals on the brink of extinction. Her fieldwork hinges on deep empathy, careful listening, and strict respect for local taboos, even when these clash with scholarly expectations. She often negotiates between protecting community secrecy and meeting academic standards of transparency.
