2025, thank you. So many blessings — traveling to 10 countries, switching jobs, and celebrating my 30th birthday with the people I love. I dedicated my last year in my 20s to reflection, recovery, and transformation: reconnecting with myself amid a world that can feel chaotic and overwhelming, learning how to push myself outside my comfort zone while protecting my well-being, and unlearning patterns and behaviors that no longer serve me — all with the intention of living more authentically and entering my 30s more grounded in who I am. Forever grateful for this life. The journey is still unfolding and I’m excited for what’s in store for 2026 ❤️ #HappyNewYear
2024, a year of celebration, growth, healing, and transformation…graduated with my MBA, purchased my first home, traveled to 18 countries, scaled my company, and focused on discovering and growing into a more authentic version of myself. So much love for the people who made this year what it was - can’t wait to see what 2025 will bring! ❤️ #grateful
June 18, 2017 - Exactly 7 years ago today, the weekend of my undergrad graduation, my grandmother passed away. We were best friends - two peas in a pod who bonded over long talks about life. And among those topics: financial freedom, specifically education and homeownership, was something we always talked about…through the lens of her story as an immigrant and the endless possibilities I have as a second generation Filipino-American. My grandmother was so invested in my future and we always dreamed of the day that I’d have a place to call my own. Though she’s not here physically to celebrate this milestone with me, I’ve felt her presence throughout this journey.
I’m excited for what’s to come in this next chapter - a huge thank you to my Mama Nene, parents, family, and friends for supporting me through this. It really does take a village, and I’m forever grateful ❤️ YA BOY IS OFFICIALLY A HOMEOWNER 🏠🔑
Thank you Booth for giving me the most memorable two years. I’m forever grateful for the highest of highs and lowest of lows that I’ve been able to experience throughout this journey - I’ve learned so much about myself personally and professionally and gained clarity on the impact I want to make in the world. A huge thank you to my parents, family, friends, and mentors for supporting me in achieving this milestone! ❤️ #ChicagoBooth #MBA #Graduation
Through the tears and laughs, 2022 was such a wild ride…moved cities, started business school, traveled to 8 countries…and met some of the most amazing people along the way! ❤️ So many mems 🥺 Looking forward to what 2023 will bring! 🔥
For part of 2021, I was feeling so unmotivated with my work, and I couldn’t understand why - I absolutely LOVE my career. But I realized that WFH made me miss the opportunity to meet new people, explore new places, and challenge myself beyond the day-to-day that I’ve come to know. So, I decided to take 2 months away from work and packed my bags to travel to 10 countries across 4 continents. 5 weeks into this 8 week journey, I’ve been able to strongly reconnect to what makes me thrive and I’ve met some amazing people along the way. To those I’ve recently met on this journey, and to the people I’m about to meet, y’all have greatly impacted my life more than you know ❤️ Cheers to an amazing 2021 and an even better 2022! 🔥 #travel #grateful #2022
