What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can combine product R&D and growth marketing to scale consumer food products, lead cross-functional teams, and improve customer experience in mission-driven companies.

I am an entrepreneurial food scientist and growth-focused operator who bridges R&D, marketing, and customer experience to scale businesses effectively.

I founded and scaled a microbakery to ₱240K/month, led product R&D, optimized costs, and built white-glove customer support systems recognized by the community.

At Kiwi Biosciences I led onboarding at scale, designed care programs, ran Meta and Google ads that cut CAC by 28%, and contributed to sustained month-over-month growth.

I bring hands-on experience in operations, process optimization, compliance, and team leadership, and I focus on data-driven strategies, cross-functional execution, and creating delightful customer journeys.
