Counselor + Coach

Even at a young age, I held a deep interest in applying psychology and counseling to help others. Following graduation, I was a Guidance Counselor at San Beda University and taught values formation under the Homeroom Guidance period. This continued on until I was called to serve at the Every Nation Leadership Institute (ENLI), the educational organization of Every Nation Philippines and Victory Philippines.

Under ENLI, I conducted interviews and assessments with the school of ministry candidates, counseled students, teach at the school, and developed ENLI’s curriculum. I later l served as a pastor under Pastoral Care for Victory New Manila and Victory Greenhills, until I became the Minister’s Well Being Head of Every Nation Philippines. My time at ENLI allowed me to further grow my experience as a coach and counselor, as well as pursue higher education in Divinity, Pastoral Studies, Educational Management, and Pastoral Counseling.
