Care Coordinator

Iya Castañeda-Villena is a registered nurse who works in the Coronary Care unit in a tertiary care hospital in the Philippines. Originally from the southern part of Manila, Iya is married with two children and loves her quiet life in the suburbs, surrounded by nature. She finds joy in her work with Renewal Memory Partners because it reminds her of the care she provided to her late father, who experienced cognitive change after a stroke. This personal experience fuels her passion for supporting clients and their families facing similar challenges. Iya is a blue belt in Jiu-Jitsu and practices the martial art with her husband. In her free time, she loves spending time with her family and enjoying nature, adding balance and joy to her life.
