Frances Castillo

Frances Castillo

I have always been passionate about nature, music, and art. I always find time to be out in the sun whenever I can. Being surrounded by trees, lakes, and beaches is incredibly rejuvenating for me. My professional background includes experience in Marketing, Project Management, Graphics Communications, and Computer Engineering. Currently, I'm involved in the management of park operations at a non-profit organization in the city. When I was younger, I used to think that checking the items off of my bucket list was the way of setting up my goals, but now that I know better, I've come to understand that genuine fulfillment lies in embracing the journey, not solely fixating on the destination. Carpe diem.
