My Story
✅ As a true-blue Japanophile who had only visited Japan once in 2013, I found a teaching job and moved to Tokyo in early 2014 despite having almost zero Japanese skills, and lived the dream in Japan for almost three 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 marketing experience in Manila, Singapore, Tokyo, and Paris. Check out my portfolio.
✅ A driven nomad with a third-world passport, who has shown grit and courage by relocating alone twice and living abroad over the past 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 your life-changing dreams!
