I am a Program Officer for Social and Behavior Change for USAID’s ReachHealth Project in the Philippines, through the Johns Hopkins University Center for Communication Programs.

The work I do is focused on designing and implementing evidence-based communication interventions for behavior change, particularly around fostering and strengthening healthy behaviors for Family Planning, and in protection against COVID-19.

I hold a Master’s Degree (MSc) in Social and Public Communication (Psychological and Behavioral Science) from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), and a Bachelor’s Degree (BS) in Management from the Ateneo de Manila University. My experience in both the private and public sectors ranges from Program Management, Social Communication, Public & Media Relations, Corporate Marketing & Events, and Research, with exposure to Health, ICT, and Corporate Business settings in the Philippines and in the UK.
