I am a proud 1.5-gen Filipinx immigrant, the eldest daughter of working-class parents, and a first-generation college graduate born in the Philippines and raised in the Bay Area. For now, I call the Central Valley home. I studied Public Health with a minor in Data Science at Cal State East Bay, grounding my work in both community health and the power of data to tell our stories. As a tenant organizer with Filipino Advocates for Justice, I learned what it meant to stand alongside families fighting for housing security. As a Policy Fellow with AAPI FORCE-EF, I saw how advocacy and legislative power could uplift AAPI communities. As a coalition coordinator, researcher, and mentor, I built bridges between grassroots organizing, policy advocacy, and youth leadership development. These experiences taught me that organizing must be rooted in care, equity, and collective strength.

I bring these lessons together with my lived experiences. I lead with love, abundance, and care, believing that young people already hold the power we need to move toward liberation. My own journey was shaped because organizers created spaces where I could find belonging, language, and courage when I doubted myself. I do this work so young people can also experience that transformation–discovering joy, agency, and collective purpose in organizing for justice and the world we all deserve.
