Summary

Adept at strategic project management and in graphic design, I spearheaded initiatives at the Ateneo Project For Asian and International Relations, enhancing project efficiency and delivery. Recognized as the Overall Best Speaker of Asia, my leadership and problem-solving skills have significantly contributed to successful project outcomes and improved organizational processes. Outside of work, I am fond of geography, learning languages, international relations, history, and pandas. As an introduction, I will quote one of my favorite Hamilton lyrics: I am the one thing in life I can control; I am inimitable, I am an original. (Wait For It - Leslie Odom Jr.)
