About

I am professional racing driver born and raised in the Philippines, proudly representing the Filipino flag on the international stage of motorsports. I am currently signed in the McLaren Driver Development Programme, racing for ART Grand Prix in the F1 Academy, an all-female racing series founded by Formula 1. Having competed in both local and international championships since the age of 5, racing is something I have dedicated my life to. My ambition is to show the world that Asian drivers can compete on the global stage, and disrupt motorsport by demonstrating women can win at the top levels of a male-dominated sport. My ultimate goal is to become the first female F1 driver of this era.
