Biography
I am a decorated Motivational Speaker, Trainer and Writer.

I have won several (Toastmasters) public speaking contests and have been asked to speak in several Entrepreneurial events hosted by GoNegosyo, KaEntrep, JCI Manila (Entrep Summit) and more. I have conducted trainings in some of the top organizations in the country, including the US Embassy, BayanTel, PLDT, San Miguel Brewery, Metrobank, Emerson, Accenture and CB Richard Ellis.
I am an Entrepreneur and a Business Consultant for Philippines-based Start-ups and SMEs. I have helped Filipinos and foreigners who needed to set-up and/or develop their businesses in the Philippines by providing numerous services, like creating business plans, conducting competitor audits, providing agency services, and more.
In line with the above, I am one of the main proponents in the creation, development and implementation of the B.E.S.T. Workshop; which has been gaining popularity among seasoned and would-be entrepreneurs.
