I am driven and passionate about the work I do especially in the field of architecture. The contrast of growing up in a developing country like the Philippines and traveling to different parts of the world made clear to me the power of design and proper planning. This inspired me to pursue a career in architecture, a field where I can express artistically, defend my work logically, and help others directly.

I always had a sport growing up, teaching me to be a good team player with the right skills to also be a leader. I work well with others while being able to voice out my ideas clearly. I have a competitive spirit with the right balance of respect and a fun attitude towards the tasks and challenges I am faced with. My mother, an entrepreneur who designs and sells jewelry and bags, exposed me to the arts and the grit of craftsmanship. I always enjoyed and appreciated crafts like pottery or other handmade goods, and other art forms like movies, music, painting, and drawing. My opportunity to travel to different parts of the world has taught me to be open to different people, experiences, and ideas. Furthermore, my extracurricular life in university, my professional career after it, and my time in the MCH masters has taught me important leadership abilities, which I hope will help me achieve my life goals of becoming a successful and reputable architect being recognized and considered for opportunities around the world.
