Mai Next Steps
Welcome to my space, a place to house everything that I do and everything that I am as I take my next steps towards a healthier, kinder life. I am creating this website as my personal project, so it can be a little messy and always a work-in-progress.

AREAS OF MAI LIFE
Living intentionally in my 30s
In my early 20s, I hustled really hard. I worked long hours, climbed up the career ladder, and then I took a break. As I got back on my feet, I came to realize what really mattered most to me. Since then, I’ve been taking steps to shape a life aligned with who I am and what I value.

Family Caregiving
My #1 priority goes to my parents. I am the family’s project manager, family driver, all-around secretary, coordinating with my siblings on how we can give the best care to our aging parents.

Sustainability Consulting
Together with my co-founder, I started Aqo Partners in 2024, a training and consulting company dedicated to helping organizations become more responsible. We design fun and engaging experiences to enable action.

Financial Planning
I joined AIA Philippines in 2021, believing that I can make a difference in helping improve financial and insurance literacy among Filipinos. I advise clients on how to maximize insurance and health solutions to meet their financial goals

Lifelong Teaching
A teacher at heart, I am always eager to learn new things and trying to teach them. These days I’ve been challenging myself to be better at tennis, learning more about the planet, technology, and the future.

Self-awareness Coaching
Being in touch with one’s emotions, being able to articulate how we feel without judgment, and having the courage to communicate with both candor and care are important skills I try to teach others.

Connecting with my Circles
I spend time with my small circle of friends and local community as a volunteer. My love language is inviting friends over to play sports, work on something together, or eat good food. Anything goes!

Hello, I’m MAI
An introvert working with good humans to create a kinder world
I am building this site to share more about how I see the world from my vantage point, and in the process, help others too. I am a sustainability educator, a financial consultant, a recreational tennis player, a family caregiver, an occasional writer, and a childlike adult.
