Growing up in the Philippines, I developed resilience and a strong work ethic from an early age. As the eldest in my family, I navigated challenges that shaped my determination to excel academically, which led me to consistently earn honours throughout my education. After high school, I pursued a degree in Accountancy at a prestigious university in Manila, drawn by the opportunity of a scholarship.

In 2012, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy and passed the Philippine Licensure Examination for Certified Public Accountants in the same year, marking the start of my career in finance.

My career began at Bayer, a global pharmaceutical company, where I gained exposure to operational finance. I later transitioned to Northern Trust in 2015, focusing on fund accounting and regulatory reporting for hedge funds across the US and Asia-Pacific regions. In 2020, I took on a new role at Centuria, where I spent over four years in fund and corporate accounting, working with investment bonds and entities across Australia and New Zealand.

Recently, I joined EVP, where I’m excited to expand my expertise into the world of Venture Capital. Working alongside such talented individuals has opened up a new chapter in my professional journey, one filled with continuous learning and growth.

Outside of work, I’m an animal lover and share my home with several cats. I’m also looking forward to the next chapter in my personal life, as I prepare to welcome my first child.
