Hey there 👋🏼
As a professional, I have spent my career in the tech sector as a product manager. As an individual, I am deeply passionate about our climate and building a regenerative, distributive world for future generations.
I have taken over 25 digital products from ideation to market, with some achieving multi-million-dollar valuations. However, some of my proudest projects cannot be counted in dollars and cents. Working with organizations like Earth Hero allowed me to combine my expertise and passion, delivering digital products that can truly leave a positive mark on the planet.
I have enjoyed the privilege of leading cross-functional teams and being the voice of our customers. I have found satisfaction in translating client requirements into actionable agile product roadmaps, incorporating design thinking into the product experience, as well as resolving team members' pain points to help them focus on what they do best.
I resonate with the belief that everything has life within it and deserves care and respect. I strive to incorporate this value into all that I create and hope to leave everything I encounter, better than I had found it 🌱

As a product manager…
I have a keen eye for UI/UX design, I excel at ensuring brand consistency as the product scales and designing frictionless UX
I can build genuine rapport with teammates and clients, I possess strong empathy and active listening ability. Having lived and worked in the U.S., Asia, and Europe, I embrace the unique life stories of individuals
I am experienced in leading cross-functional teams. I have led design and development teams across continents to launch MVPs within four months
I thrive in a fast-paced, early-stage environment where the company is looking for people to deliver and grow with them. I was the first outside hire for a startup consultancy in the U.S., where I contributed to sales, on-boarding, design, QA, internal process improvements and customer relations
I am a fast learner and a generalist, driven by my curiosity and love of wearing multiple hats simultaneously
Currently open for project collaborations and opportunities- reach out if your organization needs a self-starter, action-biased PM!
Current & past projects.
Who am I?
I am an explorer born in Taiwan, raised in the Philippines, studied and worked in the U.S and am now venturing through Italy.
A generalist in the professional setting but even more so in my personal life. You can find me spending hours reading about the Roman Empire but the next month, I am fiddling with analog cameras.
My heart skips a beat when I go around flea markets, it awakens the creative part of my brain to imagine how repurpose these objects.
I get all warm and fuzzy when I see dogs, I need to control myself from squeezing them or making loud ‘awww’s.
I find peace in staring at majestic landscapes and listening to the wind, it reminds me how I am connected to something bigger than myself.
I get fired up playing team sports, particularly football and volleyball, and enjoy every moment with my teammates.
I am a sucker for little moments in my mundane life like my morning routine, crafting, watering plants, journaling, reading, shopping local, reducing waste, going to museums, watching F1 with my partner, following women’s football or winding down with a comedy show I’ve watched 6+ times.
Let’s connect!
Reach out to connect, to collaborate or just to chat. I love to chat about traveling, thrifting, living sustainably, playing football, plants, doggos, coffee, and so much more!
