I am a Registered Midwife with over 12 years of hands-on experience in healthcare, including time spent as a Nursing Assistant and Dental Assistant, and significant years working abroad as an OFW. Today, I proudly serve as a Midwife I at the largest medical institution in Region 2, Cagayan Valley Medical Center, where I continue to care for patients with dedication and heart. I’ve been shaped by years of service—both here and overseas—which taught me to stay strong, adapt quickly, and stay calm even in the most challenging moments. I take pride in offering care that is not only skilled but also compassionate, always putting patient needs first. I’m deeply grateful for every opportunity I’ve been given and remain committed to growing, learning, and becoming the best version of myself in this profession.
