Ging’s career spanned roles in the Philippines government and organisations like the World Bank. Not actively job hunting, she seized high-impact opportunities that matched her values. Amid this, she co-founded AEP (Animal Equality Philippines) to champion animals.

AAC’s skills profile on “Growing the animal advocacy community in countries where it is small or new” sparked Ging to think about community building in the Philippines and consider it “one of the most effective ways” she could help farmed animals, rather than working full-time at a government agency.
