Born in Manilla, Philippines, and growing up in the San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valleys, Franne’s closest family friends were Christians. But it wasn’t until a later season of loss, grief, and betrayal that Franne knew she needed Jesus. Not sure how to find him, she knew Christian friends who did, so the first step in her spiritual journey was reaching out and inviting herself to their church. She surrendered her life to Jesus and has been a part of Christian community ever since. 

Worship music is her favorite way to connect with God, and Franne estimates she can make a thirteen-hour drive on her playlist without repeating a song. She loves to talk with God throughout her day, sharing her frustrations, joys, and even mundane thoughts. Franne hopes to serve God at Reality LA with courage and boldness.

When she and her husband aren’t walking their eleven-year-old dog, or following her passion for Polynesian dance, she’s on a personal quest to find the best chocolate chip cookie in Los Angeles (the most delicious one she’s found so far is baked at a local Long Beach cafe).
