I’m a Financial Controller who partners with startups to streamline their operations and ensure compliance with financial reporting standards. From managing budgets and internal controls to handling audits, I help businesses prepare for growth and scalability.

I also lead efforts to achieve compliance for critical standards like the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) audit, collaborating with executive teams and developers to ensure everything is in place for a smooth audit process.

My Passion Project:
I connect talented bookeepers, accountants and CPAs (yep, just like me! 😄) with small businesses around the globe. Why? Because I believe Filipinos can thrive anywhere, and I love seeing them succeed globally.

Fitness & Mental Health Enthusiast:
I lost 30lbs in less than a year while managing anxiety, and it’s been a journey of persistence and self-care. It’s a reminder that taking care of your mind and body goes a long way.

What I Love:
Meeting people, learning from locals, and soaking up new experiences are my favorite ways to recharge. From vibrant markets to hidden red-light districts (yes, I said it 🙃).
