What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my legal expertise while contributing to a collaborative and growth-oriented environment.

I am a legal professional with a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Santo Tomas, where I also earned my AB in Legal Management. My career has been marked by a commitment to excellence in legal research, writing, and court management. Currently, I serve as Clerk of Court III at the Supreme Court of the Philippines, where I manage court operations, draft legal documents, and coordinate with various government agencies.

Previously, I worked as a Paralegal at Maceda Law, where I honed my skills in case management and client coordination. My experience also includes administrative roles in academia, where I supported university leadership and facilitated student processes. As the National President of the Alliance of Legal Management Associations of the Philippines, I led initiatives that fostered collaboration and professional development among legal management professionals.
