THEN: Born on June 16, 1968, in San Juan City, this photo brings back memories of my childhood and my days as a Grade 5 student at Pinaglabanan Elementary School.
Those early years were filled with dreams, learning, and the values that shaped the person I would become.

NOW: From a young girl with big dreams to a woman committed to service above self.
Today, I devote much of my time to volunteering and serving the community through various organizations. I had the honor of serving as President of the Chicago Global Lions Club (2024–2025) and was humbled to receive the Melvin Jones Award, one of the highest recognitions in Lionism.
I also proudly served the Philippine Independence Week Committee as:
• 3× Executive Secretary
• Kick-Off Committee Chair
• Rigodon Co-Chair
• Appreciation Committee Chair
Every opportunity to serve has been a blessing, and I remain grateful for the chance to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
“From childhood dreams to a lifetime of service—every step has been guided by faith, purpose, and a heart for helping others.”
