Growing up in a traditional, large Filipino family, hospitality is a rite of passage. Welcoming guests into our homes to eat, laugh, celebrate, and simply spend time together is not just reserved for special occasions—it is a regular occurrence. When I was twelve years old, my family attempted to open a restaurant in the San Fernando Valley; however, they did not have the business savvy or resources to keep it going.

As a young attorney, I am privileged to represent clients in the hospitality industry, helping their businesses grow while also navigating California’s ever-changing employment laws. Stokes Wagner’s dedication to both solving and preventing issues for its clients is unmatched. I was not always sure what I wanted to be growing up, but I did know that I loved to read, write, and advocate for others. I am ready to face whatever challenges come next.

If I am not in the office, I am usually chasing my son around, trying the newest restaurant in my neighborhood, watching basketball, or spending time with family and friends doing all of the above.
