A little about me
Originally from the Philippines, I have called Canada home for more than 30 years, where I have built my life, raised my family, and developed a meaningful professional career. My journey as an immigrant has given me a deep appreciation for culture, identity, and belonging, as well as a strong respect for hard work and a thoughtful understanding of what "home" truly means.
I am particularly proud of my educational path and the opportunities I have had to learn, grow, and build a career rooted in education and continuous development. These experiences have reinforced my commitment to lifelong learning, professionalism, and contributing positively through my work.
Outside of my professional life, I value time with my family, traveling, being near the water, and sharing life with the people and animals I love. These moments continue to shape the warmth, curiosity and humanity I bring to both my personal and professional life.
