I'm an educator, social entrepreneur, international speaker, and advocacy communications expert based in Manila.

I also have a weekly Opinion column that comes out in the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

 I'm a big fan of nature, silly dance moves, horses, and my dogs Button and Horace.

My life's work is focused on these three main pillars:

education FOR ALL

Where you start in life shouldn't limit the kind of opportunities you have access to. My vision is a world where every child has access to quality education no matter what their socio-economic background is.

women empowerment

I'm passionate about providing mentorship and economic opportunities for women and young girls. I also use the power of storytelling in emboldening others to use their voice. 

elevating discourse

I believe in the value of public discourse to shape a more informed and empathetic society. My goal is to create more avenues where people can have genuine and respectful discussions.
