I am a first-year postgraduate student at Northwood. I was born and raised in the Philippines, where I also spent the majority of my childhood. Prior to moving to Northwood, I studied in Florida for two years.  

I want to study kinesiology in college and deepen my awareness of the human body. I chose Northwood in an effort to improve my athletic performance while maintaining a solid academic standing. The people here have been so hospitable and supportive and have made me feel at home during my time here.  

In addition to soccer, when I have free time, I particularly enjoy playing the piano and hanging out with friends. Something interesting about me is I am the youngest of three brothers and have three nationalities Filipino, Swiss, and Japanese.
