Kumusta! Bonjour! Hello!

My journey—from a vibrant childhood in Manila to five formative years living in Saudi Arabia, and now building a life in NYC—has taught me how to adapt, hustle, and stay rooted in my passion for storytelling and the arts.

 

While I have had to take breaks in college due to financial setbacks, I have worked multiple jobs, and found creative ways to keep learning—but I never stopped moving forward.

​

That resilience has shaped my passion for community stories, lift underrepresented voices, and build connection. Whether it’s writing, visual design, data storytelling, or social media video production, I thrive when I’m problem-solving and making complex stories accessible and impactful.

​

In my free time, you’ll find me working on my food blog Franchette’s Fork, or coaching kids as a figure skating instructor in Queens—something I started back in the Philippines when I was three-years-old, and also performed on-ice in Saudi Arabia.
