Experience
WORK EXPERIENCE I have conducted training for several companies—journalism courses for students, business writing classes for government employees, and financial management seminars for people looking for financial freedom. Throughout this experience, I have worked alongside teachers, engineers, lawyers, doctors, businessmen, politicians, and foreign counterparts from the U.S.A., Australia, Canada, France, Japan, China, and ASEAN countries. Aside from that, I have been teaching ESL and EFL students as well as training English tutors since 2003. Having dealt with learners from different backgrounds—Filipinos, Japanese, Koreans, Chinese, Swiss, Turkish, Russian, and Iranians, from the “no proficiency” to the “native or bilingual” proficiency level student—I believe it has helped equip me in becoming a teacher. A high-flyer, I always go after what I want. Hence, I look forward to helping other people do the same.

Hobbies
I love to do a lot during my waking hours. Overly organized, my therapy is film making and events organizing. During downtime, I love to travel, whether it's 400 meters to UP, my beloved alma mater, or as far as 400 kilometers to vintage Vigan. Once I reach my destination, I would wait for the sunset, survey the surroundings and take photographs of the beautiful landscape. Plus, I try to be musically open-minded so it doesn't matter whether it's Taylor Swift or Chris Tomlin on my playlist. Most importantly, I have an unquenchable appetite for knowledge; thus I like to research on a myriad of topics such as language, education, journalism, public relations, events management, financial management, marketing, publicity and promotions.
