The hard work finally paid off! This is season 2 of my award-nominated web series… a product that I wrote, created, directed and co-edited. Lots of sweat, sleepless nights, and crying behind the scenes in this one.
Season one was about discovering love in someone you didn’t expect… it was about discovery and butterflies.
Season two takes a different turn where we explore heartache. This season is about learning how to take a risk and fight for someone… even if it means losing.
When I applied to BuzzFeed, we had to submit an original video to prove our ~worth~
I love traveling, eating, and going on adventures! The only problem sometimes is that we don’t have as much money as we would like. So I decided to test how much I could stretch the dollar in my pocket. I went out on an adventure in LA… I tried to do as many things as I can, eat as much as I can, and see as much as I can… all for under $40.
This is that video.
Another video I gladly edited for BuzzFeed PH. In its first week, the video has been shared 310,000 times.
A fun, personal video I shot and edited when I had some down time as a Jr. Video Fellow.

I photograph events, classes, and shows as a Freelance Photographer at the Second City Hollywood Training Center.
As a Post Production Assistant for the film Plush (directed by Catherin Hardwicke of Twilight fame), I was tasked to edit individual photographs together and make it look like a big concert. The final still was then manipulated by the VFX department and used in the opening credits.
The first video I produced and edited for BuzzFeed. It did well amongst Filipino and Latin audiences, as well as those who relate to to having loved ones from different cultural backgrounds. As of March 2018, it has 1.4 Million views on YouTube, and has over 3 million combined across all of BuzzFeed’s social media pages.
