BIO

Jessica is a former emergency department nurse, entrepreneur, and artist based in Portland, Oregon. She was born and raised in Pasig City, Philippines, then immigrated to the US when she was a teen.  

MAHALINA evolved from Ube Charms, an Ube confection pop-up shop Jessica established in 2023. MAHALINA curates her handmade confections, comestibles, and crafts inspired by the Philippines. MAHALINA allows Jessica to expand her craft and her collaborations with other artists and makers, beyond her Ube treats! 

Jessica’s journey with MAHALINA and Ube Charms is a way to honor herself, her family and country. It is a way to deepen her relationship with Filipino culture while navigating living life in America. It is a way to be creative and mindful amidst a happy nursing career.
