Hello intended parents!
My name is Kae. Both of my parents are from the Philippines but I was born and raised in Manhattan, New York. My family did have a home in New Jersey for many years and I currently reside in New Jersey.
My father was a chemical & computer engineer, while my mother was a nurse and an event coordinator when she was outside of the operating room. I have an older brother who went into criminal justice, was an army reserve and is a photographer. My older sister is in the medical industry, having had managed multiple labs around New Jersey.
I was inspired by all the art and fashion in New York City so I pursued the fashion and jewelry industry. I was unable to finish college due to my mother developing pancreatic cancer. My siblings and I dedicated nearly 3 years to taking care of her until she passed in 2018.
My mother was a big influence in my life. She encouraged me to do things I love such as drawing, painting, dance, acting and singing. She introduced me to the process of pearl cultivation on our trips to the Philippines, which has led me to become a GIA certified pearl specialist. She unintentionally inspired me to donate my eggs too. When my mother told me she was adopted at birth and wanted to meet her birth mother just to say 'thank you, for allowing me to be raised by such a loving family,' I've had a need to give a child a better life too. Her life would have been so different but because my grandmother had trouble conceiving, my mother was very well taken care of by her parents and uncles. They were the driving force for her education, which brought her to New York City for work in the late 80s.
I have been working in e-commerce over 3 years now and just started a new postion at a luxury couture house. On my time off, I'll be with my friends trying out new restaurants, spas and interactive museums. My current hobby is fragrance. I have had a lot of passions but last year I became so interested in fragrance that I've become a collector and began a log to train my nose to differentiate notes in perfumes. I do plan to pursue entrepreneurial endeavors outside of my 9-5, starting with pearls then with perfume.
The word I know my friends and family would use to describe me is Bold. I pride myself in my passions and expression. I do and say things wholeheartedly so when I make a decision I stick with it.
I have decided to have a known donation so that intended parents continually have a peace of mind in me as their donor but also because genetic testing kits have become a trend that I have used as a tool to search for relatives. That alone will always make it easier to find me.
I am so excited to match and meet with intended parents! I am completely aware the journey to have a child can be very emotional so I take this very seriously. Even before I received communication from Diversity Fertility Services, I was already mentally and physically preparing for the possibility of donating my eggs. If you are considering me to be apart of your family's story, I am immensely honored and happily awaiting our first interaction.

Achievements
Dean's List - 2015 - Berkeley College.
My favorite subject was art. I love creating things with my hands. I used to go into my brother's room & study his drawing books. He was so good that he was given a scholarship to Pratt Institute.
Science was always my strongest subject because my sister used to recite her college biology papers to me when I was very young. I just thought everything my big sister did was cool so I grew a genuine intrigue and would tell her about what I learned in my classes throughout school. My mom was also an operating room nurse so as we would talk about our days at dinner she would talk about surgeries and how the human body reacts from different procedures.
Artistic Talents
Violin in high school.
Athletic Achievements
I can throw a really good football spiral and I have very good hand eye coordination but I did not grow up playing sports.

I definitely see myself accomplishing my career goals with Dior/LVMH Group and expanding my own business. I truly have big aspirations when it comes to my professional life and have laid out the drafts in recent years - pearl wholesaler and CEO for my own influencer marketing agency. With that I hope to help fund charities I feel strongly about such as The Make a Wish Foundation and Memorial Sloan Kettering's pancreatic cancer research.
On a personal level, I do hope to be married with at least 2 children of my own with a home overlooking the NYC skyline or a river.
Daily Activities
Once I'm awake I always have the need to drink a glass of water. After I've gonna dressed and put together for the day I drink my coffee black. Depending on if I'm working from home or not I will have a soft boiled egg, oatmeal with honey and avocado toast.
If I am in the office, my commute is a little over an hour. On day I don't commute, I am remote. For lunch I will have some kind of quinoa bowl or salad. I work for the Client Service Center of Dior Americas so I answer phones, emails and messages for our clients.
Typically by the end of the day I am tired so I go straight back home and shower. Then for dinner I'll have chicken, vegetables, sometimes rice or a soup. I do snack mostly at home so I sometimes will indulge in cookies or potato. I'll usually be in bed by 11pm.
Personality & Disposition
Bubbly, sociable, talkative, practical, polite, respectful, organized, analytical, artistic, visual and optimistic. Both extroverted and introverted. I do love to talk and speak my mind but when it comes to work or having to focus on something, I prefer to do it on my own while it's quiet. I may come off too serious & quiet to people for that reason.
Passion & Hobbies
My current passion is fragrance. I love to collect perfume samples and bottles to study how the scents wear on my skin and to understand the different notes that create a scent. It has fascinated me because of Covid. Every scent evokes a memory, so I appreciate this sense of smell even more.
Childhood & Adolescent Personality
Growing Up
Big family. I have 4 siblings and many cousins. Many family gatherings and festivities surrounding delicious home cooked food.
Most Admire
Jameela Jamil has been such an inspiration to me lately. She is a British actress known for staring in The Good Place. That was actually her first acting role, at 30. Before that she had battled multiple health issues to which had left her bed ridden before she could even graduate high school. She has been able to uses her celebrity to educate people on mental health and women's rights.
Famous Person Donor would Play in a Movie
