Vivian comes from a Filipino and Spanish heritage and has made British Columbia her home for over thirty years. Like many others, she has a wealth of incredible stories to share! Starting from modest beginnings, her parents arranged her marriage to a stranger, all in pursuit of a better life for her in Canada. Despite this unconventional journey, she completely transformed her life.

After leaving high school, Vivian was determined to change her situation. She returned to education, attended college, and became a Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy Assistant. Unfortunately, an injury sustained while treating a patient interrupted her progress. However, her love for travel led her to become a travel advisor, focusing on organizing group trips for singles. Throughout her journey, she also explored the film industry, where she became fascinated by the behind-the-scenes activities. Driven by curiosity, she secured an agent and was captivated by the long hours spent outdoors, even in challenging weather. The delicious food and the care she received on set only deepened her interest, and she continues to thrive in this field today. Her guiding principles are: "You can achieve anything if you put your mind to it," and "Don’t put things on hold; life is too short!"

Friends describe Vivian as an ambivert with a playful, sweet, kind, caring, loving, loyal, fun, and adventurous spirit—definitely an adrenaline junkie! She has a humorous side and refuses to let age define her, believing that age is just an attitude, not merely a number.

Her lasting piece of advice is, "Stay curious!"
