Where I'm from
I was born in Las Piñas, Philippines. I moved to Columbus, Ohio, where I currently live and love!
How I got to UChicago
Ever since looking into UChicago when my friend (UChicago class of 2027) got into UChicago, I have been in love with the school. I love the environment of discussion, debate, and pursuit of knowledge. I wouldn't trade this opportunity for the world.
What I'm doing here
I am currently a Global Voices Metcalf Intern at International House. Come to some of our events through the lecture series and cultural events! You are in for a treat.

Why I'm running
I'm running on three priorities: community, access, and transparency. I believe that our school is an amazing community and environment for scholarship. I want to act as a voice for our class to ensure that our needs are met and to improve the college experience for everyone with pragmatic solutions!
What you should know about me
You deserve a straight picture of who is asking for your vote.
