Experience

Jay loves going to food markets, cafes, bakeries, and hole-in-the-wall diners, especially when traveling abroad. She considers them the go-to places for tourists who wish to experience what it's like to live as a local in a foreign country. In her free time, she binge-watches cooking shows and YouTube shorts about simple yet delicious meals cooked in an air fryer or rice cooker. She proudly whips up desserts for her large, extended family on birthdays and holidays, and dreams of someday running a bakeshop with her sisters.

Education

Jay has a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies at Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan. She graduated with honors (cum laude) in 2010.
