What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in a reputable organization where I can provide counseling, administer psychometric assessments, promote student wellness, and grow professionally in a supportive, student-centered culture.

I am a dedicated guidance counselor and licensed psychometrician with extensive experience in educational and wellness settings. I have served as an associate counselor, psychometrician, part-time instructor, wellness coach, and full-time psychology faculty across colleges and healthcare.

Over nearly a decade I delivered counseling services, administered psychological assessments, and taught psychology courses while supporting student mental health initiatives. I have experience with motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral approaches, and suicide prevention protocols tailored to Filipino contexts.

I am reliable, adaptable under pressure, and skilled at building rapport with students and colleagues. I combine strong communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills with practical computer literacy in MS Word, Excel, Publisher, and PowerPoint.

I seek to contribute my expertise in guidance and psychometrics to a reputable organization that values student-centered care, preventative mental health programs, and professional growth.
