Hello. I was born in Vancouver, British Columbia and raised by my mother and sister. My mother, a nurse, immigrated to Canada from the Philippines in the mid-1970's. After my formative years I moved to Ithaca, NY for college and have moved to several cities for other education and training including Montreal, Boston, and Toronto. 

I am based in Toronto.
