Interests and Hobbies

There is something about helping people that has always fascinated me. Even from an early age, I was determined to be a nurse and wore a nurse costume to kindergarten. My parents, who were a doctor and a nurse, inspired me with their tireless service to patients in their clinic in the Philippines. Despite financial struggles, my father helped patients, often accepting food or livestock as payment. I was deeply moved and knew that I wanted to follow in their footsteps. Throughout my childhood, I was an active and sporty tomboy who loved playing softball and weightlifting. I continued pursuing fitness in college and later became a real estate agent before becoming a stay-at-home mom. As a mother, I focused on caring for and providing the best for my children. However, I wanted to do more and decided to pursue a degree in early childhood education. I realized that many parents were not consciously aware of the impact of poor nutrition on their children, leading to high obesity rates in the country. Inspired by my passion for fitness, I became a Certified Fitness Trainer, Nutritionist, and Pre and Postnatal Fitness expert, aiming to promote healthy living and change habits for a better tomorrow.
