I envision a kinder, happier world where all beings thrive in harmony—and I try my best to work towards this.
I run the Dory Foundation, a private foundation that supports ambitious charities and individuals doing impactful work to make life meaningful and fulfilling in a world transformed by advanced AI. If you are working on relevant projects or have impactful ideas you want to pursue, feel free to reach out.
I also founded the Phlourish Mental Health Initiative Inc. in 2023, a nonprofit based in the Philippines. We believe that everyone deserves a chance to flourish in life, and that poor mental health is a growing challenge to a person's flourishing. Hence, it has become our mission to test and scale evidence-based and cost-effective mental health interventions to make them accessible. We are founded through the support from the Mental Health Funding Circle of AIM (formerly CE).
I also currently serve as member of the board at EA Philippines (since Sept. 2024).
Prior to this, I worked mostly in the climate space, serving as COO for ClimateScience, a UK-based climate education nonprofit, and Operations Manager for a Philippines-based climate research foundation.
I have a degree in Development Communication major in Science Communication, but my work has mostly been in nonprofit operations. I also dabbled in freelancing, which led me to founding WeAmplify, an agency providing backend support to organizations like Clearer Thinking and Purposeful Planning Institute.
