Thank you for wanting to learn more about your CPT!

I have more than 10 years of cumulative experience working with rehabilitation patients at an outpatient physical therapy practice as a certified personal trainer and physical therapy technician, sport psychology consultant for national athletes in the Philippines, and a volunteer assistant coach to men's and women's basketball teams for multiple Division III schools. 

Having earned my BA in Psychology and MA in Counseling with High Distinction (Summa Cum Laude), and currently pursuing my PhD in Post Secondary and Adult Education. I have worked in multiple international and State Universities, community colleges, and online university as a faculty, mentor, IT training specialist, and instructional designer. I also worked in a large non-profit organization, Top 5 Fortune 500 Company, and emerging financial technologies such as blockchain company.

I have experience working with a diverse population of age groups (10 and above), activity levels (sedentary to elite athletes), various accommodations (special needs, pregnancy, trauma, etc.), and much more (LGBTQIA+, recovery, etc.).

With this extensive and diverse experience, I aim to promote mental health through functional movement and strength; proper exercise, stretching, and recovery techniques; and to help you discover what you love doing to achieve your health and wellness goals!
