Meet Monica Pineda

Hi, I’m Monica D. Pineda

But you can call me Monics or Monica 

I was born and raised in Pampanga, Philippines 

And I’m currently in Philippines

You’ll find me eating bulalo, steak, ramen, and sisig kapampangan. But mostly I enjoy spicy food. 

And you’ll see me drinking anything as long as it’s sour like Passion Fruit Tea or quite sweet like Boba Milktea.

A sports moment I’ll never forget is being able to experienced a lot of various sports during my academics such as badminton, volleyball, basketball, tennis, swimming, and long jump. I also enjoy playing badminton with my friends and relatives 

The sports or entertainment venue you’ll have trouble getting me out of is Smart Araneta Coliseum

I idolise my mother, though I still value what my father did for us. When my father left us 13 years ago, she became both a mother and a father, doing everything she could to raise and take care of us. The word ‘best’ doesn’t fully describe her—her sacrifices, strength, generosity, selflessness have shaped who I am today. She’s a true example of resilience and unconditional love, and I admire her deeply for everything she has done for our family. 

On the weekend you’ll find me spending quality time with my family and loved ones. Whether we go to the mall, to try new food spots, just walking around or simply talking, these moments help me unwind and keep a healthy balance between work and personal life. But to be honest, if I have a significant presentation or task due on Monday, I make it a priority to prepare over the weekend. I believe in being well-prepared and responsible, especially when it comes to delivering quality work.

I’m always happy to talk about project management to continuously grow and expand my knowledge in this field. I’m especially focused on strengthening my leadership and communication skills to become more effective in leading and managing teams. 

Something you may not know about me is that I can cook a lot of main Filipino dishes (Sisig, Kare-Kare, Sinigang, Tinola, Adobo, Paksiw, Kalderta, Barbecue, Chicken Inasal, Calamares, etc.) It’s part of my future plan to open a family business like a restaurant.
