  Department of Agriculture - Philippines

  Jul 2021 - Dec 2021

  Research Assistant

  I was assigned to assist in the research to evaluate the effectivity of the CHARMP 2, a project implemented by the Regional Department of Agriculture, for the low to no income families in the Cordillera. I communicated with government officials (barangay captains, mayors, and governors) to secure permits to travel to and from their communities as the COVID safety protocols were strictly being implemented then. The communications were done via emails, calls, and paper forms depending on whatever method is available on their end. These communications were also done to seek permission from barangay captains to gather beneficiary families for a focused group discussion. After every FGD, I prepared a transcript of the whole session and a summary of my findings. This experience exposed me to the grassroots of the Cordilleras, the home of rich and diverse cultures and traditions. Show less

  I guide secondary education students and completers in the Philippines on career planning for future success. This involves developing personalized career paths tailored to each one's strengths, interests, plans, and dreams.
