About 👩‍💻

One thing continuously drives me — working with and for people.

Growing up between the bustling streets of Quezon City, Philippines and the quiet suburbs of southern Ontario, I grew to appreciate the different ways of life that both cultures showed me, which I bring when I approach any problem — big or small.

Outside of my 9-to-5, you can find me…

Writing about the intersection of design/business/psychology/AI.
Checking out new bars/restaurants with family/friends.
Learning to apply First Principles Thinking in everyday life.
