A mother of two humans and three fur babies. A fitness enthusiast and a part-time Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor.                                                                                                                                      Born in Mountain Province, Philippines, the 2nd of 6 children.  Graduated at the University of the Philippines with BA in Journalism.  Worked in a local newspaper for 2 years then moved to Vancouver in 2001, with my daughter and my husband.  I was 8 months pregnant when we landed in Vancouver.  A month later, my son was born.  I was a stay-at-home mom until my son entered full time in school.  When my son was in first grade, I started working part-time as office assistant at St. Timothy Anglican Church in Burnaby.  Three years later, since I only work at St. Timothy two days a week, I started working also as parish administrator for St. Martin's Anglican Church in North Vancouver for three days a week.  When my family moved to Delta in 2014, I had to give up both St. Timothy and St. Martin's. It was a difficult decision to make because I find fulfillment and satisfaction working in a church.  God truly knows the desires of my heart so He gave me St. Dunstan's in Aldergrove. God witnessed my sacrifices in battling the constant long drive and traffic especially during the winter, so He offered Trinity Lutheran and St. Cuthbert.  Although I am no longer working for Trinity Lutheran, I am very grateful that God gave me St. Cuthbert the second time around. Working in a church for few days a week gives me that sense of having a real purpose of my whole existence.                                                                                                                  Purihin ang Diyos! (Praise the Lord!)
