University of Guam 2024
Hi everyone! I am a first-generation student born in the Philippines who moved to Guam at age 13. I graduated from John F. Kennedy High School in 2020 and earned my bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and Biology from the University of Guam in May 2024. Throughout my academic journey, I have participated in research and summer programs and held leadership roles. I am currently in my gap years, gaining hands-on experience as a medical assistant while preparing to apply for medical school. I am also focusing on personal growth—saving, exploring new hobbies, and spending meaningful time with loved ones. I hope to support others on a similar path and help strengthen healthcare education and workforce capacity in the Pacific. Outside of the clinic and studying, I enjoy spending time with my parents and my dogs, Subi and Suetto, trying workout classes, visiting cafés, and collecting stationery.
