I am a retired Senior Medical Technologist who immigrated from Tarlac, Pampanga Philippines to the United States in 1968. For over 40 years, I worked in St. Mary’s Hospital in Hoboken, NJ and part-time in St. Francis Hospital in Jersey City and Palisades Hospital in North Bergen. I have three adult children and three grandsons, Aedan, Nathan, and Nevan. Currently, I volunteer in my local parish, St. John the Baptist as a lector and Eucharistic Minister and am a member of the Family Ministries of Christ. To stay active, I take Pilates every week with my daughter and I like to tend to my garden in the spring and summertime.
