My TWC Journey

Cristel Joy O. Torres exemplifies the spirit of entrepreneurship and dedication. While working as a public servant, she has successfully launched her own online business, selling a variety of home-baked products, including ensaymada, crinkles, and cookies. Inspired by friends who had studied at the TESDA Women's Center (TWC), Cristel enrolled in the Bread and Pastry Production NC II program to enhance her skills and achieve her dream of becoming a professionally recognized baker. " After graduating in 2024, Cristel quickly applied her skills, leading to the popularity of her baked goods, which often sell out. Her self-employment enables her to contribute to household bills. Balancing her online business with her public service role has taught her important lessons in multitasking and stress management, boosting her confidence and reinforcing her belief in achieving her dreams through hard work. " Cristel encourages others to pursue their aspirations, saying, "Never give up, no matter how tough things get." Her journey highlights the transformative power of education and hard work. She hopes her story inspires others to stay determined and embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. " Through her online business, Cristel Joy O. Torres is a shining example of how passion and dedication can lead to success, proving that with the right skills and mindset, anyone can turn their dreams into reality.
