I am here for Friends

About Me

Here’s a brief 411…I’m an earth sign - meaning I’m laid back, easy going, practical, committed, and grounded. The question most people find fascinating to ask is what my ethnic background is. Both my parents are Filipino/Spanish and on my dad’s side I am also French. I’ve been fortunate to travel through Asia, Central America, Mexico, Western/Eastern Europe, and USA, due to my educational background and my continued interest in design and architecture. My career extends from a brief (amd I mean brief - but legit) stint as a model through college, community and public relations, fundraiser, designer, buyer, human resources, and finance. Through my career expansion, I’ve been able work closely with non-profit organizations such as: U.S. Olympic Committee, Jr. Achievement, Make a Wish Foundation, East West Players, Aids Project LA, American Cancer Society, and Para Los Ninos. I’ve been in a relationship for eight years and we adopted a rescue dog from the Bill Foundation to complete our family. He is a miniature piebald dachshund with a gentle soul that we named Jasper. Recently, I lost my father from cancer...miss him very much!I continue to do work for chariy organizations and consult on residential design projects. The End – Tapos - Final - Finition!

My Interests

Healthy mind and body, interior design, architecture, fashion, traveling, spinning, rollerblading, kick/tai-box, bootcamp, movies, concerts, theatre, napping with my dog, long showers, captivating music, hands up in air dancing, fresh haircut, spa treatments, Tab (soft drink) welfare of animals and human life
