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!

Families, Seniors & Communities: Strengthening the Bonds That Matter Most
In today’s fast-paced digital world, families often find themselves disconnected, with screens replacing meaningful conversations. At Global Won, we believe that real connection starts at home and extends into our communities.
Our mission is to inspire families to set aside technology, even if just for a little while, to foster deeper relationships, stronger communication, and shared traditions that stand the test of time. A community that values face-to-face interactions and mutual support is a thriving community—one where people look out for one another and build lasting legacies.
The Role of Seniors in a Thriving Society
Too often, the wisdom of our elders is overlooked. Around the world, different cultures have unique ways of honoring and integrating seniors into daily life, blending their lifetime of experience with modern practices. At Global Won, we advocate for this wisdom to be embraced, ensuring that seniors play a vital role in mentoring younger generations and strengthening family bonds.
Creating Connection, Creating Change
When families are strong, communities flourish. When communities flourish, society as a whole benefits. Whether it’s through intergenerational mentorship, family traditions, or simply setting aside time to connect, Global Won champions initiatives that foster deeper human connections—because we are stronger together.
