Miss GR is a writer, fashion stylist, makeup artist, and a production designer. She finished a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Arts and a Diploma in Professional Makeup Artistry. Aside from being a multi-tasker in the field of media and advertising, shes also got a flair in photography, teaching, and entrepreneurship.

Her exciting career set off five years ago in Manila, Philippines wherein she started as a student writer, editorial assistant, and fashion stylist for a big Magazine/TV company. As her experience and passion for work intensifies, she began building a number of contacts in USA, Europe, Singapore, Malaysia, and other parts of Asia.

She has worked/ been working with the best clients such as: McCann Erickson Advertising Agency, Coca-Cola, Nestle (Maggi, Carnation, Nan Milk), San Miguel Beer Corp, Maxim Magazine (UK and Phils), FHM, Island Magazine (Guam,USA), TakeCare Asia (Guam, USA), T3 Magazine, Men?sHealth Magazine, Wallstreet Apparel, Sony-Erickson, Samsung, Unilever (Vaseline Shampoo), Microsoft, Fashion Televison (FTV-Singapore), just to name a few. Photographers, Directors, Models, Personalities and Recording artists also request for her fashion styling services.

And since 2006, shes been traveling abroad to do shoots, share her craft, as well as learn from them. Last July-Aug 2006, she represented Maxim Magazine Phils for the First Miss Maxim Global photo shoot held in the Caribbean island of Dominican Republic. In this event, she was asked to do writing and photography assignments. She got to meet and work with some of the industrys finest creative team- a celebrity photographer from Hollywood, stylist from New York, makeup artist from UK and California, as well as the models and editorial teams of Maxim Magazine around the world.

Indeed working and learning with people from around the globe made her realize that we really live in a small world so we should share our skills/talents in all ways we can wherever country we may be. For her, this kind of fulfillment is hard to replace.
