LET'S TALK: FILIPINO CONVERSATION PRACTICE

I proudly graduated Magna Cum Laude, earning my Bachelor of Secondary Education, Major in Filipino. Throughout my four-year journey, I immersed myself in the vibrant world of the Filipino language, literature, culture, and communication. I unraveled the rich tapestry of our national language—its growth, structure, and deep-rooted connection to the soul of Philippine identity. Through this journey, I honed my skills in writing, translation, linguistics, and teaching.

I was deployed as a student teacher in a public school for four months, from October 2023 to January 2024. During this time, I taught the Filipino subject to Grade 8 level to five sections with around 50 students in each section.

I am working as a full-time Senior High School teacher, handling both Filipino and English subjects. Trained to handle large classes of up to 50 students, I’ve mastered the art of creating meaningful learning experiences even in the busiest of rooms.

Beyond the classroom, I am also a School Paper Adviser, where I mentor aspiring student journalists — nurturing their voices, sharpening their writing, and inspiring them to make their mark in the world of media.
