It's the story of a dream that began in the heart of a young girl, who found her calling amidst the vibrant chaos of newsrooms and the disciplined halls of the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) Region 4A (Calabarzon). Under the mentorship of Regional Director Lito Cabotaje, this aspiring journalist learned the ropes of the trade with a focus on integrity and professionalism. This foundation laid the groundwork for what would become a remarkable career in media and public relations.

Transitioning from a consultant and regional media coordinator to taking bold steps into the national spotlight, the editor embarked on a journey that led her through challenging exams and pivotal interviews at The Manila Times under then CEO Dante Klink Ang II. These experiences not only honed her skills but also affirmed her lifelong dream of making an impact through journalism.


In 2010, amidst evolving digital landscapes and changing reader habits, she established Tag Media and Public Relations.
