At BetterLegal, the team and I streamline operations, leveraging our communication and problem-solving skills to improve service delivery. It's a role that aligns closely with my ongoing Juris Doctor studies at the University of the Philippines, where I'm honing my legal expertise.
The competencies I bring to the table have been shaped by a solid academic foundation in economics and legal management from De La Salle University and a commitment to sustainability, as evidenced by my participation in the University of Indonesia's program on Life Below Water and Waseda University’s AIMS program. This unique blend of education and experience drives my mission to innovate and elevate operational standards in the legal services sector.
