Description

I was born in the Philippines, and migrated to Hawaii in 1993, at the age of 15. Starting a new life in a different country was challenging, yet an adventure. I am one of the lucky ones who fell in-love with accounting. At 16 years of age, I started studying business and bookkeeping. My education career continued until I acquired my CPA license in 2019. I am newly licensed CPA. However, my experience include over 20 years in accounting, of which at least 8 years are in public accounting. I am fluent in Ilocano and Tagalog. The 2020 pandemic had brought more fun and challenges in my profession because of the significant effects to the small businesses, as well as individuals. I have established my firm with the intention of providing assistance to local businesses in need.
This is now my home, and I hope to be a contributor to the community.
