She recently earned her master’s degree in business administration with a concentration in marketing from Saginaw Valley State University in Michigan. Santos received her bachelor’s degree in tourism management from the University of the Philippines - Diliman in 2016.
Santos started her corporate career right after college, working in the field of sales and marketing for a five-star hotel chain in Asia. She continued in the same field, working for a multinational FMCG (fast moving consumer goods) company as a customer development executive, handling key accounts and promoting product brands. Santos is passionate about education and community service, having been involved in a nonprofit intercultural exchange organization for over seven years where she had the chance to work with different communities, promoting the importance of education and intercultural learning.
