Marjorie Martinez Tuddao was born in Quezon City. She is the eldest of the two children of Ester Apostol Martinez and Celeste Joel Boyain Martinez, who did everything for them to finish their studies.
She attended Bagumbayan Elementary School, where she graduated with a 3rd honorable mention. For her high school education, she attended Jose P. Laurel Sr. High School. Marjorie successfully completed her college studies in the Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management course at the University of Saint Louis Tuguegarao.
After graduating, she returned to Manila to pursue her career. Initially, Marjorie worked as a Sales Associate at 7-Eleven. However, her determination and hard work led her to take the exam to become a Store Manager just a few months later. Remarkably, at the young age of 21, in February 2015, she successfully secured the position of Branch Manager at a 7-Eleven store.
Continuing her professional journey, Marjorie's dedication and competence shone through as she passed the requisite qualifications in 2018 to become an Area Manager. Over the course of approximately five years, she effectively managed her assigned 7-Eleven branch, demonstrating her exceptional leadership skills.
However, in 2020, Marjorie made the difficult decision to resign from her managerial role in order to prioritize the care of her only child.
From the early days of her education, Marjorie displayed a keen interest in the arts. Her eyes would light up with joy at the sight of watercolors, colored pencils, crayons, oil pastels, charcoal pencils, and various other art materials. As she embarked on her professional journey, Marjorie made it a point to gradually expand her collection of painting supplies, allowing her to indulge in her passion for art.
After a long day at work or during weekends, Marjorie would eagerly return home and immerse herself in the world of painting. It became a cherished ritual, providing her with a sense of fulfillment and contentment. The act of creating art became a means of self-expression and a source of happiness in her life.
Marjorie is a talented self-taught artist who dedicated herself to her craft after resigning from her job. Embracing the belief that "If you can dream it, you can do it," she pursued her artistic aspirations with unwavering determination. Marjorie sees her artistic talent as a gift from God and holds a deep conviction to utilize it as a means of glorifying the Lord Jesus Christ and blessing others.
With her newfound freedom to focus on her passion, Marjorie endeavors to share her artistic abilities with the world. Through her art, she aims to inspire and uplift others, spreading joy and positivity. By using her talent as a vessel to express her gratitude towards God, Marjorie aspires to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those who encounter her work, ultimately becoming a source of blessing and encouragement.
