Over the past decade, I’ve built a diverse career spanning journalism, academia, communications, and hospitality. Along the way, I’ve become a passionate advocate for amplifying underrepresented voices — especially those within Filipino, Filipino American, and Angeleno communities. I care deeply about environmental history and justice and creating diverse community-centered spaces.

I believe in the power of storytelling — in its many forms — to nurture connection, empathy, and belonging. My work centers on amplifying voices and preserving these stories with care.

I’m currently pursuing an MLIS degree with a special focus in archival work, bridging my past experiences with a future in storytelling and public service.
