She enjoy going out of town, seeing the beaches and the different parts of the Philippines from which she get her inspiration for her artworks. Before joining the Bb. Pilipinas in 2010 she was a typical boyish girl and was having a hard time walking in high heels, maintaining her balance and at the same time keeping her posture as poised as it should be. But then she realize it was fun and she is now back enjoying the time of her life.

Given the second chance to prove herself at this year’s Bb. Pilipinas and pursue her childhood dream of becoming a beauty queen, she has prepared for this year’s competition with more confidence and determination to win one of the titles. She think that what makes her standout in this competition is her natural skin color which she take good care of as it is one of her best assets, her exotic look and her winning spirit. God, family, friends and those people who believe in her are her sources of inspiration to win in this competition.

To all her supporters, she want to thank all of you for believing in her and inspiring her to work even harder for this years Bb. Pilipinas. She appreciate all the effort of giving her suggestions and words of encouragement. She said, "Let's all pray and hope that GOD will reward us the coveted crown.
