  • What I Do

    I am a creative facilitator and program coordinator for non-profit and start-up organizations. In 2016, I have explored and dived into the rich culture of Brazil and at the same time taking my Post Graduate Certificate Program in Social Innovation Management at Amani Insitute.

     

    As a Social Innovator, it is very important for me to always go out of my comfort zone so I do that by traveling and learning from people outside of my own. Traveling teaches me to better understand people and allows me to design programs that are creative and innovative.

     

    I love to be surrounded by people who bring joy and positivity to this world. I spread my happiness all over to encourage individuals to create solutions that are just for the society and to immerse myself into diversity whilst bringing people together in different dynamic activities.

     

    Presently, I am working with Ayala Foundation for a year project on digital education in partnership with Profuturo Foundation as a Program Coordinator in a small beautiful touristic community called El Nido, Palawan Philippines.

     

    I specialize in Program Management, Client Relations, Networking, Coaching, Social Innovation Management, Intercultural Competencies, Content Management and Design, Market Research Analysis, Negotiation, Program Development, Training, and Facilitation.
