What I'm looking for

I seek mission-driven roles where I can lead sustainable brand growth, secure funding, and build ethical, community-centered programs with cross-functional teams.

I am a results-driven social entrepreneur and marketing strategist with 10+ years of multi-industry experience in brand development, digital marketing, and ethical enterprise growth. I founded Modern Ilongga, a cleantech social enterprise that empowers indigenous and PDL communities through sustainable design, circular production, artisan training, and IP advocacy.

I develop data-driven SEO strategies, craft persuasive grant and technical documentation, and have a proven record of securing funding and national recognitions including Shell LiveWIRE and BPI Sinag. I have led product innovation, marketing, financial management, franchise planning, and cross-platform community engagement to scale impact-driven brands.

I blend creative leadership with operational discipline—managing partnerships with LGUs and DTI, using tools like Salesforce and Monday.com, and applying skills in grant writing, IP protection, and ethical product design to grow sustainable, culturally rooted ventures.
