I am a proud offspring of the two distinct ethnic groups in the Philippines, navigating the rich linguistic diversity of my heritage—including Waray, Kinaray-a, and Hiligaynon—alongside Filipino and the English language. I was born in Samar Island; spent the rest of my Elementary and Secondary Education in Panay Island. I finished my Tertiary Education in Metro-Manila. 

At the age of twenty-two, I became a licensed Secondary English Education Teacher. I have completed both of my teaching internships in the Philippines and in Hanoi, Vietnam. In Fall 2022, I earned my International Master’s Program in Education (IMPEd) from National Chiayi University - Taiwan. During that year, I also obtained a Certificate in English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) Skills from the University of Cambridge - United Kingdom.

Demonstrated history of working in the Social Finance Services Industry. Skilled in Operations Management, Public Speaking, Educational Research, International Education, Research Ethics, and Educational Policy Development.
