As a dancer and choreographer, she has worked for the Philippine Ballet Theatre, and for Contemporary groups including Airdance, Myra Beltran’s Dance Forum, E- Dance Theater, and the Green Papaya Art Projects.

She moved to Hong Kong in 2007 to be with her husband who is also a dancer and painter. She has worked as New Media Arts coordinator at Osage Gallery in 2007 creating performance art collaborations with other HK artists. She was also a full time teacher at the Jean M.Wong School of Ballet for 4 years.
