A natural singer and blessed with the voice like that of a Disney princess, she has participated and performed in musical theatres as young as 5 years of age. She has been with the Conservatory of Music at the University of St. Thomas, Philippines, majoring in Voice and minoring in Piano from 2002-2004.
