I’ve met many amazing peers and mentors in my community and industry, and I’ve had the incredible opportunity to pay it forward through my work with TRIBE. However, I know there’s a larger world beyond my circle that I have yet to explore, which is why I’m eager to widen my network and join the 1833 Club.

With my unique experience and background, particularly in the arts and culture sector, I can offer a fresh perspective to conversations, connect people and open doors for co-creation and collaboration. I also hope to meet many new friends and possibly mentors in this community.

For the last nine years, my work has centered on designing and managing branding projects for literary and cultural events across the UAE. My creative interests lie in arts and culture, particularly exploring my Filipino heritage and learning about the culture and history of other nations. I also have a background in performing arts, with a passion for dance and music. Recently, I co-founded a collective for UAE-based Filipino creatives and comms practitioners called TRIBE—so it’s been pretty busy lately. But when i do get some downtime, i write on my journal and watch anime and Youtube podcasts.
