I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I first stepped on the ice at a small pop-up rink in Santa Monica and knew it was for me. I’ve been skating since I was three, training seriously since eight, with my family making countless sacrifices.

My dedication paid off—I’m a US Figure Skating Championship Series gold medalist, a Regional medalist, and a two-time Pacific Coast Sectional competitor. I ranked top six in the Southwestern Pacific Region and twelfth in the Pacific Section of the US in 2023. I was also named a future competitor for the Philippine Skating Union National Championships and invited to US Figure Skating Olympic training camps.

I’ve had the privilege of training with legendary Olympic coaches like Tiffany Chin, Frank Carroll, Rafael Arutyunyan, and Denys Petrov, alongside champions such as Nathan Chen, Adam Rippon, and Gracie Gold. My journey has taken me to elite rinks, from Irvine to Michelle Kwan’s rink in Artesia, and now LA Elite Ice in Lakewood, where I train with top-tier coaches and Team USA skaters.

Being a professional skater comes with challenges, but my mom, an expert in organic beauty and wellness, has been my biggest supporter. Together, we wrote this book to guide and inspire young female athletes.

Outside of skating, I’m the eldest of four, multi-ethnic (Italian and Filipino), and love cooking, creating healthy recipes, playing music, fashion, and Formula 1. Though skating and school take up most of my time, I cherish these passions whenever I can.
