Multicultural Experience

Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience working in diverse cultural and economic environments. Growing up in a multicultural household in Canada, with a Spanish father and a Filipino mother, I developed a deep appreciation for cultural diversity from an early age.

Professionally, I have worked with a variety of cultural groups across different locations and economic backgrounds. In Toronto, Canada, I served a predominantly Filipino community at Living Hope. My journey then took me to Philadelphia, PA, where I provided counseling services primarily to African American clients. Following this, I moved to Los Angeles, where I engaged with a predominantly Latino clientele, and later worked in Orange County with a predominantly Caucasian population.

In addition to working with diverse cultural groups, I have also interacted with individuals across a broad spectrum of economic backgrounds, ranging from affluent to lower- income and middle class. This has provided me with valuable insights into the unique challenges faced by people from various economic situations.

Leadership Style:

My leadership style is an amalgamation of analytical rigor and collaborative management. I emphasize thorough analysis and research to make well-informed decisions while fostering a culture of teamwork and creativity. I prioritize the development of team members by delegating responsibilities based on their strengths, encouraging innovative thinking, and creating a supportive environment for growth. My approach ensures that strategies are well-planned and adaptable to changing circumstances, promoting a sense of stability and flexibility within the team.

Jung Typology Test Result:

My feeling orientation enables me to prioritize empathy and emotional well-being, fostering a supportive work environment. As a perceiving type, I remain adaptable and open to new experiences, allowing me to respond effectively to dynamic situations and encourage innovative solutions.
