I am a licensed geologist from the University of the Philippines - Diliman. My professional experience involves being a research assistant in two geology research laboratories, one of which specializes in active tectonics and geohazards such as earthquakes, flooding, slope failure, faulting and fractures, sinkholes, and landslides, while the other focuses on the geochemical and laboratory analyses of soil, water, and rock samples. I was also a member of the national executive council of an advocate NGO. I am skilled in project management, administrative work, research, and field mapping leadership.
