A Journey to a Crown
Come Walk with Me!
Born and raised with the vibrant culture of Davao City, I've carried the warmth and spirit of the Philippines into every aspect of my life in the United States. As a mother, I strive to instill these values in my son, balancing the rich traditions of our culture with the opportunities of our new home.
I am here not just to compete, but to inspire - to show that beauty is multi-faceted, encompassing not only physical grace but also the strength, intelligence, and resilience of Filipino women. My journey from Davao to Austin has been one of learning, adapting, and contributing, whether it's through my work in engineering or in the communities I'm part of.
Today, I am excited to share my story, my talents, and my love for both my cultures. I aim to highlight the beauty of Davao and the potential of Filipino American women to lead, inspire, and make a difference. Thank you for allowing me this platform to connect, celebrate, and continue to learn from this amazing community.
