Growing up just steps from the sea in the Philippines with her Filipina mother, Swiss father, and two brothers, Helena developed an early love for adventure, creativity, and connection—all of which continue to shape her work today. Her island upbringing fostered a free-spirited outlook and a deep appreciation for life’s simple joys.

Helena holds a Diploma in Accountancy, Business, and Management, as well as a Bachelor’s Degree in Entrepreneurship. She began her career working remotely as a social media coordinator before becoming a project manager for a Vancouver-based real estate marketing company—where she discovered her passion for media, design, and storytelling.

In 2025, Helena moved to Peterborough and quickly fell in love with its peaceful pace and laid-back community. Of all the places she’s been, she finds that Peterborough has some of the kindest people—always ready with a warm smile or friendly greeting.

At Jeff & Katie, Helena manages all things media, from photography and social content to branding and creative strategy. Dedicated and hardworking, she’s passionate about bringing ideas to life and helping the team showcase properties and stories in the most authentic, eye-catching way possible.

When she’s not working, Helena loves trying new things, going on hikes, chasing sunsets, playing sports, journaling, and spending time with friends. These days, she also cherishes calling and catching up with her loved ones back home in the Philippines.

Helena believes that creativity and hard work can turn any vision into reality, and she’s excited to continue growing with the team while capturing what makes each home truly special.
