I'm honored to have been the Program Director for the California Medical Association (CMA) Foundation's Network of Ethnic Physicians Organization (NEPO). Previously, I served as the Communications Administrator at Health Education Council where I took great joy in developing and leading public relations campaigns for local, regional, and national public health outreach efforts, events, and conferences. I’m proud to be an active member of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) and was the youngest person and first person of color to serve as President of the PRSA California Capital Chapter in 2015. As a two-time kidney transplant recipient, I have cultivated 20 years of experience as a spokesperson for ethnic minority organ donation awareness. I’m passionate about diversity, inclusion, and health equity. Born in the Philippines and raised in California, I’ve graduated cum laude from California State University, Sacramento in 2010 with a bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies, with a concentration in Public Relations and a minor in Marketing.
