Hi there! Welcome to my Website.

A little bit about myself…
I was born and raised in the Philippines, a tropical country in Southeast Asia surrounded by water. I am a PADI Dive Master, AmbassaDiver™, Wave 2 Molchanovs freediver, and an ocean advocate. I have been a full-time digital creator for over a decade now, a career filled with adventure that has opened my eyes to both the beauty and fragility of our planet Earth.
Growing up in the Philippines exposed me to the sea from an early age, but it wasn’t until my 20s that I discovered a deeper passion for the ocean. In 2019, I became a certified freediver and began promoting marine conservation to the younger generation on social media. My current project is InDepth Expeditions, which focuses on wildlife conservation and real experiences in some of the most beautiful spots around the Philippines (and soon, other parts of the world). When I’m not freediving around the Philippines, you’ll find me exploring places I’ve never been, immersing myself in different environments, and sharing my knowledge about nature to inspire more people to explore and properly care for our planet.
Today, I am based in Manila, working as a content creator and a speaker at various events related to content creation, ocean conservation, sustainability, and outdoor sports. I’ve worked with hundreds of brands, both local and international.
My advocacy for environmental matters include ocean & Wildlife conservation, climate change &
Sustainable economy.
I also advocate for Mental Health &Women’s health
As someone who was exposed to nature at a young age, the outdoors has always been my playground. I believe that we are meant to coexist with nature. Growing up, whenever life made me feel disconnected from the natural world, I was drawn back to anything outdoors. This led me to pursue activities that brought me closer to nature. I hiked a lot around the Sierra Madre Mountain Range, took up a freediving course in Coron, Palawan, and eventually completed my PADI Scuba Diving courses, culminating in my Dive Master certification. Immersing myself in nature has allowed me to witness the environmental issues we face today. Since 2019, I’ve been using my influence on social media to spread awareness & have been participating actively on events / volunteer work dedicated to environmental wellness.
I strongly believe that for us to understand deeply what we advocate for, we have to experience it ourselves.
