Hello FBANC members! 

I am honored to run for Director of Community Outreach. I’m currently a product counsel at Autodesk, where I work on legal issues at the intersection of technology and innovation.

My commitment to the Filipino American legal community began early in my career.  During college at UCLA, I was a member and leader of a student-led organization called Samahang Pilipino, where I first learned about the unique struggles of the Filipino community and the importance and impact of community organizing.  As a law student, I was fortunate to receive a scholarship from the Philippine American Bar Association (PABA). That support reinforced for me the importance of investing in future generations of Filipino American lawyers. I later had the privilege of serving on the PABA board, where I helped support programs that fostered mentorship, professional development, and community engagement.

Now that I’m living in the East Bay, I hope to continue that work through FBANC by helping strengthen community connections and expand outreach to the broader Filipino American community.
