I’m a first-generation American, born in San Francisco, CA, to parents who migrated from the Philippines. As the youngest of eight children, I’ve often been called a 'miracle child' due to a life-threatening experience at age two. Growing up, faith played a central role in our family, and God continues to be a guiding force in my life.
As a young girl, I attended private school for twelve years and was extremely outgoing and competitive in many sports. Shifting gears to adulthood, I have spent many years managing office operations and providing executive-level support.
Over the last thirteen years, I successfully ran a bowling center in Columbus, Ohio, where I oversaw diverse aspects of the business and handled numerous responsibilities.
My personal life is a source of immense joy, especially in raising three incredible adult children. My youngest daughter has further blessed me with a wonderfully talented granddaughter.
I remain very active and full of energy, grateful for each day. I live life to the fullest and never take it for granted. I love the challenge of creating something out of nothing, and nothing brings me more joy than seeing the smiles my creations bring.
Life is truly a gift!

A World Filled With Peace
A World Filled With Peace: The Path to Global Unity
Doesn’t a world filled with peace sound nice? In today’s divided landscape, true harmony may seem like a distant dream—but at Global Won, we believe it’s possible when we recognize our shared humanity. What if we all saw ourselves as part of a larger human family, responsible for each other’s well-being, no matter where we live?
Beyond Borders: A New Mindset
Peace isn’t just the absence of war—it’s the presence of understanding, collaboration, and respect. Global Won promotes the idea of global citizenship, urging people to think beyond national borders and embrace the idea that we are all interconnected.
Through initiatives that encourage cross-cultural dialogue, mentorship programs, and leadership training, we help individuals and communities build bridges instead of walls. By fostering empathy, education, and action, we can shift mindsets and plant the seeds of lasting peace.
The Power of Small Acts
Every effort counts. Whether it’s teaching children about cultural respect, helping resolve conflicts in local communities, or engaging in humanitarian efforts, peace is built one action at a time. Global Won provides resources and support for those ready to take steps toward a more unified world.
Together, we can rewrite the narrative. Peace isn’t just an ideal—it’s a responsibility we all share.
