EDUCATION

Grand Diploma in Professional Culinary, Baking and Pastry Arts Jul 2017 - Dec 2018 Global Culinary and Hospitality Academy • Pasig City, Philippines Cooking has always been my passion, specially growing up being influenced by my mother who is a well accomplished home cook and baker. After so many years in the field as a Geologist, I finally decided to enter formal education in Culinary, Baking and Pastry Arts. It’s a total 8-months of in-house training. I also joined in the school’s annual inter-branch competition

– The GlobalGrit 2018. Though I did not win the top prize, the experience was more important. After our successful restaurant simulation, and successfully completing my industry internship at the Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria, I know I’m ready to fulfill and share my passion. Bachelor of Science in Geology Jul 1987 - May 1994 University of the Philippines Diliman Campus • Quezon City, Philippines I entered the University of the Philippines as an Electrical Engineering student. However, certain events in the Philippines, especially in 1990 (7.8 magnitude earthquake in Northern Luzon) and in 1991 (the Mt. Pinatubo volcanic eruption) shifted my interest to Geology; plus the fact that I love to travel, especially in the remote places of the Philippines, which further convinced me to pursue a Geology degree. During my first year as a Geology student, I received two consecutive certificates as a College Scholar – attaining grades in all subjects enrolled in any semester that is no lower than 1.75 with 1.0 being the highest grade possible. SKILLS

I am well versed in the Windows 10/11 operating system, including MS Office, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite, Music and Video Editing, The Kingdom Suite geological mapping software and simple PC troubleshooting. Cooking and Baking. Photography, painting, dancing and singing

(including choral conducting and piano playing). Music editing and production. Video editing and production.
