What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles where I can apply psychological assessment and psychoeducation skills, contribute to research, and deliver impactful mental health programs in collaborative, growth-oriented settings.

I am a dedicated Registered Psychologist (RPsy) and Registered Psychometrician (RPm) with a Master’s in Counseling Psychology and magna cum laude honors in both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees.

I have diverse professional experience in psychological assessment, psychoeducation, research, and mental health advocacy, having completed practicums at Sol Psychological Services, National Center for Mental Health, and university guidance offices.

As a freelance resource speaker, I deliver tailored seminars and workshops on mental health awareness, stress management, career orientation, and self-empowered recovery for corporate, educational, and community audiences, consistently receiving excellent feedback.

I am also an active competitive athlete as a member of the Philippine National Powerlifting Team and a published researcher recognized with the Dr. Jeimylo De Castro Research Excellence Award at the MA level.
