My Life in 250 Words

I was born in Southern California. My father is from California and my mother is from the Philippines. I have one brother. He’s 18 months older than me. My family and I are very close. We do a lot of things together. For holidays, we usually go out dirtbiking in the desert. Our motto is “a family that rides together, stays together.”

After high school, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. I went to this trade school, got a job in dental assisting and did that for about 5 years. Then I decided I wanted to get my bachelor degree in something that would give me more opportunities to travel, so I went to university and got a BA in English Language. I’ve been able to use that to teach English abroad.

My husband and I met in 2004 through a mutual friend. He came to California from Maryland where he finished the last half of his senior year of high school. He is a musician, super smart, funny, and he’s also half Filipino like me. In 2006, he asked me to be his girlfriend. Then on our 5-year anniversary, he asked me to be his wife. We were married in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica on August 27^th, 2011.

Before being married, we had been to 10 countries together. After being married, we lived in Ecuador, then South Korea, and more recently the Philippines (and a quick visit to Malaysia). So needless to say, we love to travel.
