About me : "I love fashion, I've been in the industry for 3 years now and I've wanted to be a part of it ever since my mom first introduced me to the wonderful world of shopping. But what I love as much as fashion is spending time outdoors particularly at the beach. Having lived in Cebu and being fortunate enough to have white sand beaches with nice clear water 5 minutes away made me such a beach-loving person."
