Born and raised in the Philippines; I moved to the Golden State at age 16 and never left. I live in Central California with my husband, Cody, our children, Hann and Hayleigh, and furbabies, Oreo and Penny.

While attending Fresno State as a biology major, I was given an opportunity to work as a Sales Manager at Holiday Inn Express & Suites, which sparked a passion for tourism, serving, and working with people. This led me to take a different path and pursue a career in hospitality.

Since then, I have grown in my role and have worked for incredible companies such as Hyatt Hotels Corporation and Marriott International. Now, I have my dream job, where I lead and support Sales, Marketing, and Events teams for a portfolio of Hyatt, Hilton, and Marriott hotels.

When not working, you can find me spending time with the family, sipping a lavender latte inside a local coffee shop, pretending to be a responsible plant mama, trying new recipes, or traveling — and attempting to document my adventure!
