What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can support prosecutors with reliable legal assistance and research, apply data/privacy and digital forensics learning to case work, and contribute to criminology teaching or public service training.

I currently serve as a Legal Assistant II at the Provincial Prosecutor's Office, building consistent support across multiple appointment periods starting 01/01/2023. I bring a strong criminology foundation and a service mindset shaped by public-sector responsibilities.

Alongside my legal support role, I have worked as a Criminology Instructor at Saint Theresa College of Tandag, Inc. (part-time and probationary roles). I also completed licensure-related milestones, including Criminologist Licensure Examination (81.30) and Fire Officer Examination (82.62), and I have experience as a First Responder with RED CROSS YOUTH OF THE PHILIPPINES-SURIGAO CHAPTER.

I stay current through technical and capacity-building trainings, including Data Privacy and Safety Issues in Cyberspace, Data Mining Techniques in Crime Prevention, and Basic Digital Forensic Analysis and Investigation. I’m also pursuing graduate studies in Master of Business Administration, because I value disciplined planning, continuous learning, and responsible decision-making.
