My Story

When I was a little girl, my dream was to be a pop star and actress. I would steal my mom's pink digital camera at 5 years old and talk to it as if it were my friend. I'd record covers, skits, and mini-TV series—anything to be in front of the camera. Simply put, I LOVED the spotlight.

​

This passion for performing quickly extended to video editing. At 8 years old, I started editing my videos on my mom's laptop using Windows Movie Maker. By the time I was 10, I had my own camcorder with a flip screen, and I would spend hours recording and editing videos, imagining a future in the entertainment industry.

​

As I grew older, my love for storytelling and creativity naturally led me toward the world of marketing. In college, I wasn’t sure what to major in, so I explored psychology, philosophy, communications, and business. I discovered that marketing not only combined all of my interests but also blended my analytical mindset with my creative drive.

Navigating college as a first-generation student with Filipino immigrant parents was both a challenge and a source of strength. Without a blueprint for navigating American academia or the corporate world, I leaned on resilience, resourcefulness, and a strong work ethic to overcome every obstacle. During my time as President of UNLV Lee Women in Business, I learned the power of mentorship, the importance of community, and how to uplift others while pursuing my own dreams.

 

Now, as I embark on my career, I’m driven not just by personal ambition but by a desire to make a difference. I want to be a trailblazer for AAPI women, breaking down stereotypes and creating more opportunities for representation in the entertainment industry.

Being a Filipino woman is my superpower, and I’m ready to use it to pave the way for others.
