Hello
I’m passionate about helping businesses grow stronger through insight, structure, and sound financial strategy. My background spans international relations, banking operations, and business management, and I bring a detail-oriented, analytical approach to every project. I help organizations make smarter decisions by connecting financial clarity with strategic vision.
​
Originally from the Philippines and now proud to call the United States home, I combine global perspective with hands-on business and finance expertise. I partner with leaders to strengthen financial processes, streamline operations, and support sustainable growth grounded in data and integrity.
My Story
I grew up in the Philippines, where my studies in international relations first sparked my curiosity about the global economy and business. Understanding how international systems shape economic opportunities inspired me to pursue a career in finance and operations. I began my professional journey in the banking industry, starting in executive support and later expanding into supply chain project management and process improvement. I was then promoted to Relationship Management on the corporate banking side, where I worked closely with business clients to strengthen partnerships and enhance their financial operations. These experiences deepened my understanding of how financial systems, business operations, and people intersect to create value.
​
In 2021, I immigrated to the United States, and in 2025, I became a proud U.S. citizen. The experience of starting fresh in a new country has given me deep appreciation for perseverance, adaptability, and lifelong learning.
​
I completed my MBA in 2024, focusing on Mergers and Acquisitions and Data Analytics, which strengthened my ability to analyze businesses strategically and help organizations navigate transitions and growth. I am now pursuing my Master’s in Accounting at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign’s Gies College of Business, one of the nation’s top-ranked accounting programs. This program enhances my technical and analytical expertise, enabling me to help businesses navigate financial complexity with confidence and clarity.
​
Outside of work and study, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our children, exploring new places, and finding ways to give back, especially through financial education and mentoring young professionals. I am passionate about growth, both personal and organizational, and about helping others find the same sense of possibility that education and opportunity have given me.
​
In the long term, my goal is to help organizations and individuals make confident, informed financial decisions that support stability, growth, and overall well-being. I believe great businesses are built not only on numbers, but on trust, transparency, and purpose.
