Coaching + Innovation

About us

I’ve always been fascinated with imagining and executing improvements in my environment, which led me to study engineering. As a “numbers person”, I was drawn to banking and finance. It was there that I gained corporate management experience and polished my skills to support small business and entrepreneurial development and operation. Several career highlights provide me credence in coaching you:

• Founder at Coaching + Innovation
• Coach at BetterUp (San Francisco, CA)
• Communications Director, ICF Calgary Chapter
• Chaired strategic committee responsible for strengthening the culture of corporate innovation; Senior Vice President and Head of Corporate Banking
• 20 years Executive Banking experience with Citibank, Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation and Unionbank; customer service, operations, sales, credit, relationship management, and product development
• Executive Assistant to the Executive Vice Chairman and CEO at RCBC; experience and perspective of working at the highest management levels
• Financial Planning Head IBM Daksh (IBM Business Process Outsourcing subsidiary)
• Entrepreneur and small business owner

As a female professional, I use my skills and experience to successfully balance the demands of my professional life with being a mother and wife.

I live in Calgary, Canada but also call Manila, Philippines my home.

In finding ways to enhance my life and give back to my community, I volunteer at the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the University of Calgary’s Haskayne School of Business, in fundraising campaigns for children’s hospitals across Canada, and have been involved in education with the Webber Academy Parent Council and on the Board of Trustees for a Montessori school in the Philippines.

I enjoy exercise and hiking, have a passion for ballet, and also delight in experiencing culinary adventures with my family.
