I graduated from the University of the Philippines Los Baños with a degree in Agricultural Biotechnology and earned my MBA from De La Salle University Manila. I am deeply engaged in agriculture and agribusiness, which have always been my passion and primary area of interest. I aspire to help improve the lives of farmers, especially here in my home country.

I think basic medicine should be taught in school. Not to become doctors but to be responsible and master one's personal health. How to measure blood pressure, why we should follow the prescription, or how a bad diet can accumulate over time. Eating salty foods can damage your kidneys and raise blood pressure, but eating a banana or a coconut can help mitigate salty foods.

I learned about organizing TEDx events in 2018. In 2019, I organized my first 500-pax event at my home university. I really liked the idea of finding ideas and immortalizing them and making them available to everyone. I like the idea of giving others the platform to be heard.
