Welcome, and thank you for visiting my profile.
I’m a development advocate, researcher, and grant strategist with more than 20 years of experience designing and implementing community-based initiatives across Indigenous, environmental, and rural development sectors. My work focuses on bridging grassroots realities with institutional funding to create sustainable, people-centered impact.
Based in the Philippines, I have supported organizations and cooperatives in Palawan, Cavite, La Union and Pangasinan through programs on forest rehabilitation, regenerative livelihoods, cooperative and indigenous governance, and community-based sustainable tourism. Currently, I am developing digital platforms that amplify youth and Indigenous tourism storytellers while strengthening local enterprises and conservation initiatives.
I was part of the Top 10 Finalists of the NatureNest Accelerator, where I co-developed a regenerative forest enterprise promoting sustainable harvesting practices and Indigenous stewardship. In 2025, I presented two research papers at ICOOP2025, the international cooperative conference, where I received recognition for Best Presenter and Best Cooperative Story for research highlighting environmental inclusion, cooperative innovation, and Indigenous governance systems.
With over 10 years of remote project management experience, I bring together strategic writing, partnership building, program coordination, and advocacy-driven leadership. My work is rooted in the belief that meaningful development begins with communities themselves and that lasting impact happens when strategy, culture, and sustainability move together.
If you’re looking for a collaborator who combines vision with execution, and advocacy with systems thinking, I’d be glad to connect.
