Hi, I'm Jackie! A Filipino American creative producer, storyteller, and curious human based in Los Angeles (by way of Chicago).
I studied cultural anthropology, which probably explains my obsession with people, food, history, and all the wonderfully weird things that make a place what it is. I make videos and tell stories about whatever sends me down a rabbit hole, from overlooked histories and cultural traditions to roadside oddities and really good meals.
I'm also a musician, museum enthusiast, amateur historian, and big fan of traveling by foot or campervan with my spouse. My favorite kind of day involves learning something new, meeting interesting people, and stumbling upon something I didn't know I was looking for.
Basically, I have a lot of interests and not nearly enough hours in the day.
