ABOUT ME
Now based in Copenhagen!
Not able to host at the moment. But can give some tour advice:)
my few experiences with CS has just been so fun fun fun! I love happy out going, joking, confident people who are passionate and smart but don't always take them selves so seriously:)
Half danish and half filipina. I grew up in Denmark, and i'm studying 'Organizational Innovation and Entrepreneurship' at Copenhagen Business School (CBS). In search for my roots and doing what i'm passionate about, I spent a couple of years in the Philippines incl. as an intern at Amnesty International and 'The Institute of Social Entrepreneurship in Asia' (ISEA) based at the Ateneo University in Manila.
Writing my Masters Thesis, work on my start-up initiative ROOTS FOOD
Made a festival last year:
https://www.facebook.com/PNOiSEFESTIVAL?fref=ts
-> making it again for 2015.
I'm in two worlds and hopefully i'm capturing the best of both. At the end of the day, I hope to inspire readers, friends and strangers to look into what creative and innovative solutions that social entrepreneurship can contribute with.
As a person, I love meeting people, going out, talkative, passionate, lots of projects, love life, live the moment, go-getter, loyal friend, love my family, enjoy food, cultures, community.
I live an busy exciting life, but always maintain to balance my values, avoiding stress and look forward to the day I can build my own house with an self-suffiecient garden. Simple living and a happy community. As for now, I enjoy the art, music (and beer) that the city gives me;)
PHILOSOPHY
"Making dreams into plans so dreams can some true!"(stolen from Facebook but love the quote)
always surround your-self with good vibes people!
"there is always a choice!" (from my good friend)
