Favourite activity

I find it really hard to choose one activity as my favourite because of how much I love the outdoors! Whether it’s rock climbing in Squamish or surfing in Tofino. if it’s outside I’m into it.

Best thing about working in construction

The feeling you get at the end of the day when you’ve put in a hard days work and hopefully got a lot done

If I had to eat one meal every day for the rest of my life, it would be

My mother’s baby back ribs

Three traits that define me

Joyful, hardworking, contemplative

One thing I can’t live without

Cinnamon buns

A leader

To always put other people’s needs before his or her own

Best place I’ve travelled

The Hawaiian island of Maui holds a special place in my heart. I lived there for three months after high school and had the best time. It has everything I could ever want in a place. Amazing beaches, perfect surfing waves, beautiful hikes, warm weather, and friendly people.

In sports, I prefer

I played varsity basketball for most of my primary and secondary school career so I would probably gravitate towards that sport. Offence because it’s more fun to score than it is to guard.

Least favourite food

Things high in lactose because I have an allergy

Hometown

Cebu City, Philippines

I’m happiest when

I’m in the ocean
