SUMMARY

I am an independent research, consulting, and training professional from the Philippines and a Ph.D. in Economics student at De La Salle University. A Certified Public Accountant by profession, I finished my Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Accountancy. I have an extensive portfolio of consulting engagements with a multilateral financial institution, top private companies, small and medium enterprises, government agencies, academia, not-for-profit organizations. My previous work experiences in the areas of Learning and Development, Research, Education, Corporate Finance, and Accounting and Auditing added value to my competence in this very exciting field.

Some of my current and completed projects include: business planning, economic analysis, accounting and finance studies, feasibility and market research, sustainability projects, resource valuation, corporate and local governance, data analytics, project management, learning and development, needs assessment, workshop facilitation, engagements with the public sector and civil society organizations, government procurement, and financial reporting and analysis.

In the field of research, I publish in international journals and acts as a resource person in workshops, lectures, and conferences. I also review some of the articles submitted for publication in the Asia- Pacific Social Science Review and the Journal of Global Business.

My stint as an educator included teaching accounting, finance, and economics to undergraduate and graduate students. I even once taught an accounting class for Deaf students given my proficiency in Filipino Sign Language (FSL). Moreover, I also obtained my certification to design and implement learning programs for the Open Development Initiative of the World Bank in the Philippines.

As a yoga practitioner, I previously served as one of the brand ambassadors for Yoga+ Express. I extended this work to advocating for health and wellness programs, as well as inspiring people to live a lifestyle where they can appreciate their bodies better and to continue their journey towards becoming a better version of themselves.
