This was part social experiment, part personal challenge and part passion quest.

Social Experiment: I decided to see if I could live in a city where I didn't know anybody or speak the language. I always wanted to learn Spanish and dance, so decided to move to Medellin at the start of my journey.

Personal Challenge : I wanted to learn how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable so I traveled and hiked around Colombia, Peru, Argentina and Mexico. I learned Tango in Buenos Aires… Show more

This was part social experiment, part personal challenge and part passion quest.

Social Experiment: I decided to see if I could live in a city where I didn't know anybody or speak the language. I always wanted to learn Spanish and dance, so decided to move to Medellin at the start of my journey.

Personal Challenge : I wanted to learn how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable so I traveled and hiked around Colombia, Peru, Argentina and Mexico. I learned Tango in Buenos Aires and volunteered as an English teacher in Medellin where I had to learn how to connect immediately with strangers. I then started challenging myself by getting over my fear of being up on stage by doing improv and storytelling.

Passion Quest : Through this journey I would fly back and forth between the United States and South America where I discovered the world of improv and storytelling. It was during one of those moments on stage when I told a personal story for the first time that I realized this was what I was meant to do. Show less

One of the most challenging and rewarding experiences to date. I completed my MBA with an amazing and driven group of global cosmopolitans. I was fortunate to receive the Asia Enterprise Scholarship. I graduated with a focus on Finance, Entrepreneurship and Organizational Behavior.

As Head of Treasury and Sales, I manage the team responsible for marketing the company's products and services, mainly fixed income outlets and investment banking products such as corporate issuances and IPO's.

I moved from money market sales to foreign exchange sales covering SMEs in Manila as well as business development work for accounts based in the Visayas and Mindanao region.

I set up the treasury sales desk in Cebu City which covered the Visayas and Mindanao region for the bank.

First job straight from university, I learned about the exciting world of treasury in the banking sector. I found my place in money market sales.
