Leadership/Commmunity Engagement

One of my greatest passions has always been guiding people to come together and reach greater causes. Whether it be through digital media, mentoring students, helping those in need, or preserving cultures through education and performance, I will always take any opportunity I can to lead and help others prosper.

Menstrual Equity For All Act 2021.pdf

As President of my high school's PERIOD. Chapter, I promoted menstrual health awareness through meetings and social media posts. I also led the chapter's largest period product donation drive, packing over 450 menstrual care kits for local women's shelters. My service as Chapter President really broadened my perspective on menstrual health disparities and deepened my interest in women's health.

BLPAPA's Board of Directors with Elk Grove Mayor Bobbie Singh Allen at the Bayanihan Festival

I was appointed to BLPAPA's first Board of Directors as Secretary and Marketing Manager, serving nearly two years. During this time, I choreographed, taught, and performed Filipino dances such as tinikling, cariñosa, and bulaklakan, and helped organize Elk Grove's first-ever Filipino festival with 100+ vendors, local performers, celebrity guests, and 5,000+ attendees.

This role strengthened my skills in teamwork, organization, communication, marketing, and creative design while promoting Filipino culture in the community.
