Born and raised in Pateros
I’m an immigrant from the Philippines. Small town Pateros was home to my family.
Burnaby, BC Canada is my new home but I still have strong ties with my motherland. I can speak and swear in Tagalog. I try to speak a dialect Kapampangan but I get puzzled looks when I do.

Life
My pronouns are she/her. My family is my priority. I’m a semi-capable cook. I like books, old buildings, historical figures, and taking photos. Next to my husband, my nieces and nephew are my favourite people.
I like keeping things simple.
I am a proud member of the Growing Room Collective as Graphic Designer and Web Manager.
And I am also a part of the team Lara Spence Web Design and Business Writing as graphic and web designer.
