Ruby Ibarra was born in the Philippines and spent the first 4 years of her life in Tacloban City before her family eventually settled in San Lorenzo, California.

Currently, she's a scientist at a Bay Area biotech company, working in the quality-control department on COVID-19 test kits and yes, even a vaccine. Ruby is also an up-and-coming hip-hop artist, performing sold-out shows with her band of eight, the Balikbayans.
