​Hi, I am Roma, or in Baybayin [Filipino Indigenous script], ᜇ᜔ᜋ.
My full name reads as, ᜄᜇ̢ᜐᜌ ᜊᜒᜎᜐᜃᜓ.
Born and raised in the Philippines 🇵🇭 and currently enjoying the opportunity to live and work in the Land of the Arapaho, Ute, and Cheyenne Peoples [Boulder, Colorado] while exploring other parts of the world. 

​I am currently the Product and Marketing Lead at Integrated Work. I have over 14 years of combined experience in product development, marketing communications, brand & design, project management, community management, operations, teaching, and training.

All these and my formal training in Human Performance Psychology, contribute to my understanding of human performance, motivation, and drive when working with teams and on projects.
