Prior to coming to the U.S., my work in the Philippines, where I was born and raised, mainly involved exhibits and conferences. I was a Technical Assistant for the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM) under the government’s Department of Trade and Industry. CITEM organizes international exhibits which enabled me to travel abroad as a coordinator for participating Filipino manufacturers offering Philippine-made products. After CITEM, I worked for an entity funded by USAID whose main purpose is to promote agricultural products and processes to and from the Philippines by organizing an international fair called Agrilink that is participated in by foreign companies aside from local ones.
