I’m an educator with over ten years of experience, and for the past five years, I’ve also been working as a course and instructional designer based in Parañaque City, Philippines.

I grew up in the lively streets of Manila, Philippines, where every corner turned into a playground and “make-believe school” was the game of choice. While other kids raced to be the student, I proudly took on the role of teacher. And here we are, 30-ish years later.

I started teaching in 2014, fresh out of college and newly licensed, teaching ESL learners online. By 2015, I was in a classroom teaching elementary and junior high, then moved on to senior high school by 2018. In 2019, I finally landed my dream role as a college instructor—just in time for the world to turn upside down in 2020.

Pivoting to online instruction, I found myself not just teaching but truly enjoying the art of designing learning experiences. Since 2020, I’ve created numerous higher education courses aligned with regulatory and accrediting standards—and I’ve been loving every bit of the journey.

I am genuinely interested in transitioning into the corporate learning and development field, where I can apply my background in education and instructional design to develop engaging, purpose-driven learning solutions that foster employee growth and drive business success.

I’m currently working on my master’s thesis and hoping to finish it by August 2025—fingers crossed.
