I graduated magna cum laude and class valedictorian from the Juris Doctor program of the University of the Philippines College of Law in 2024. I also received the Justice Francis Jardeleza Prize for Best Paper on the West Philippine Sea and the Violeta Calvo-Drilon Award for Academic Excellence. During my stint in the law school, I was part of the Editorial Board of the Philippine Law Journal, and a member of the Order of the Purple Feather, UP Law’s official honor society. In 2020, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Broadcast Communication (summa cum laude and class valedictorian) from the University of the Philippines Diliman. In the Spring Semester (January-June) of 2019, I was a Global Undergraduate Exchange Program grantee at Castleton University in Vermont, USA. The program is administered by the Fulbright Commission in the Philippines. I ended my short stint in the US with a perfect 4.0 GPA.
