What I'm looking for

I seek a role leading education or scholarship programs where I can scale impact, build partnerships, strengthen scholar development, and grow a high-performing team.

I am a results-driven Scholarships Manager and licensed Psychometrician with over 10 years of experience in program management, scholar development, and education partnerships. I have designed and scaled nationwide scholarship programs serving over 1,000 active scholars annually and onboarding 300+ new scholars each year across Tech-Vocational and College tracks.

I lead end-to-end operations including strategic sourcing, rigorous selection, scholar care, socio-emotional support, and workforce-readiness initiatives. I designed national initiatives in partnership with the Department of Education, including a Master's in Education Measurement and a Mismatch Teachers Program to address subject-specialization gaps.

My strengths include HR and team development, budget and resource management, research and impact monitoring, and building strategic partnerships with DepEd, higher education institutions, and industry stakeholders. I supervise program teams, guide professional development, and implement systems improvements to increase operational efficiency.

I am passionate about creating education pathways that improve student readiness and workforce integration, and I bring a track record of measurable program growth, strong stakeholder engagement, and commitment to scholar outcomes.
