Welcome and thanks in advance for getting to know me. More than my Chemical Engineering degree from UC Berkeley, I am a Filipino Woman Solopreneur.

I enjoy opportunities to present, where I share how I bring together my technical + social + cultural lived experiences to those I serve. Learn more about me and how I yes, and … and yes, because where my interests and expertise intersect.

Today, I am a consultant, coach, explainer, mentor, sensemaker, and improviser. My client projects and volunteering speak for my varied expertise and interests.

Through the decades, I’ve evolved my solopreneurial engineering practice to reflect the interplay of my lived experiences - blending technical, social, and cultural areas among business, community, and government. I serve as a coach, explainer, mentor, sensemaker, and improviser for -

  • air quality, energy projects, environmental communications

  • behavior design, habit formation, mental fitness

  • representation, culture, identity

  • servant leadership, professional development and shifts

I cultivate my creative expression through improv, sketch comedy, personal essays, public speaking, storytelling, and workshops. I bring my improv lens for fruitful discoveries to those I serve as a coach -

  • Ikigai Tribe Coach

  • Tiny Habits® Coach

  • Applied (and Feral) Improv practitioner

  • Positive Intelligence (coach in training)

I practice what I enjoy,
learn what I don’t know, and
connect the people around me.
My mantra - In querencia, be the catalyst who serves.
