About me
It started with a typhoon.
“I felt an unspoken obligation to honor the lives we lost by being part of the solution.”
In November 2013, Super Typhoon Haiyan, the strongest typhoon in recorded history, tore through Leyte, my home province in the Philippines. I survived it. In the aftermath, I felt an unspoken obligation to honor the lives we lost by being part of the solution. That is where my work in climate and environmental advocacy began.
In the years since, I've worked with environmental organisations across the Philippines and internationally, helping shape the narratives behind global climate campaigns. Representing the Philippines as a youth delegate at UN Climate Change conferences put me inside the policy negotiations themselves, with a seat I used to amplify the voices of young people who usually aren't in the room.
To ground that advocacy in real policy training, I pursued an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's in Environmental Sciences, Policy and Management, studying across Lund, Vienna and the Aegean.
Today I'm a sustainability professional with nearly six years across UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, the Global Center on Adaptation and the UNFCCC process. I manage grant portfolios, build partnerships and design capacity-building programmes that help early-stage climate and energy solutions scale. And as a science communicator, I still reach for the same instinct that started it all: strip the jargon, find the human stakes, and tell it straight.
