My Story
✅ A true-blue Japanophile who only visited Japan once in 2013, found a teaching job in Tokyo and moved the following year despite having almost-zero Japanese skills, and lived the dream in Japan for almost 3 years! Read my Female Network piece from 2018 and more articles about my time in Japan HERE.
✅ A seasoned creative professional with over 15 years of advertising and digital marketing experience in Manila, Singapore, Tokyo, and Paris. Check out my portfolio.
✅ A go-getting nomad with a third-world passport, who's had the grit and courage to move & live in 4 countries in the last 15 years. Even before Instagram and TikTok ;)
✅ Turning point: Experienced burnout from my corporate job at 41 and pivoted by creating a passion project aligned with my ikigai: to empower and inspire professionals like YOU to embrace new experiences and pursue their life-changing dreams!
