As a storyteller, I weave works about human rights and narratives. As an artist, engineer, and designer, I work in media ranging from JavaScript to oil paint. I am also proud to be a Filipina, German, American, bookworm, singer, vegan, survivor of scoliosis and full spinal fusion surgery, Trekkie, runner, marathoner, black belt in Taekwondo, and more. Feel free to reach out to me with the contact information listed in my contact page – I’d love to meet you.
