I am a Canadian International Baccalaureate student fluent in English, French, Tagalog, and able to speak Japanese. I co-founded SpeakNowTV, an online media outlet for youth voice. I am an ECHO member, a social media assistant at Latincouver, a marketing assistant for Education Generation, a TEDxKids@BC team member, a Check Your Head youth facilitator, a Vancouver Youth Food Policy Council working group member, a blogger for the Canadian Cancer Society, and a piano teacher at Husmillo Music Studio. I sing and play piano, guitar, flute, and clarinet. I am a karate black belt, play field hockey, play ultimate, dance hip hop and Japanese traditional, and run short and long distance hurdles in track. I am interested in everything: music, politics, genetics, fashion, food, you name it!
I was:
- a student reporter for CBC's BC Newsday 2010.
- on the 2011 Earth Day parade and festival organizing committee.
- a YouthPolitik working group member/CitizenU facilitator.
- an Evergreen Architect of a Green Legacy.
- a Genome BC's Geneskool participant at Capilano University.
- a World Vision Canada BC Youth Leadership Team member.
In my spare time, I play with my 4 cats, BBM, tweet, eat chocolate, and shop for pink stilettos. I love everything Vancouver. Let's talk. :)
