What I'm looking for

I seek an early-career diplomatic or policy role where I can apply research and administrative strengths, support high-level engagements, and grow in international relations.

I am an AB Foreign Service graduate with a major in Diplomacy, experienced in research, administration, and supporting high-level diplomatic events. I co-authored a research paper on ASEAN human rights and have practical experience preparing briefing notes and diplomatic correspondence during an internship at the Department of Foreign Affairs.

I bring strong organizational skills, a proactive approach to team support, and experience coordinating bilateral engagement such as work on EU–Philippines relations and summit support. I communicate effectively in Filipino and advanced English and seek to contribute to policy, diplomatic operations, or international program work.
