What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to apply my philosophical insights to real-world issues, fostering ethical practices and promoting social justice.

I am a dedicated philosophy student at the University of the Philippines Diliman, pursuing a Master of Arts in Philosophy with a focus on ethics and social justice. My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as evidenced by my expected graduation with honors, Summa Cum Laude, for my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. I have actively engaged in various extracurricular activities, including leading teams in ethics competitions and translating critical materials on human rights.

Throughout my academic career, I have presented research at notable conferences, winning awards for my work in ethics. My passion for philosophy extends beyond the classroom, as I have contributed to community initiatives aimed at making philosophical discussions accessible to the public. I believe in the transformative power of philosophy to address pressing social issues and am eager to apply my skills in a meaningful way.
