What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters community engagement and promotes social justice.

As a Magna Cum Laude graduate from the University of the Philippines Diliman, I have cultivated a strong foundation in social work, complemented by hands-on experience in community organizing and project management. My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as evidenced by my inclusion on the Dean's List and my active participation in various organizational affiliations.

In my recent role as a Community Organizer with Multiversity, I successfully spearheaded a drainage cleaning initiative that engaged over 100 households, showcasing my ability to mobilize community resources and collaborate with local government. My internship at Children International Manila Inc. further honed my skills in casework and groupwork, where I managed multiple clients and facilitated essential medical consultations. I am driven by a passion for social justice and a desire to create impactful change in the communities I serve.
