Hometown:  Manila

My bio in 3 words: creative, driven, sweet.

Music you should stream to get to know me: “Bet You Wanna” by BlackPink 

The food that will always remind me of home: halo-halo, balut, pichi-pichi, and sapin-sapin

The fashion item I can’t live without: my mom’s vintage dress she used to wear in her teenage years. She passed it on to me so I could also use it

What is your biggest hope for the future? My biggest hope for the future is for young women to never underestimate themselves. No matter how big or small the challenge can be it doesn’t determine what’s possible for you. It’s definitely important to always remind ourselves to be bigger than our fears because we are capable of anything if we put our hearts and minds towards it.

The words that inspire me: “She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.” (Proverbs 31:25)
