Being a licensed professional teacher in the Philippines, I have been teaching language and communication arts subjects to junior and senior high school students for the past 14 years. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education (Major in English/ Literature), as well as a Master’s degree in Education (Major in Educational Management), and I finished both degrees as "with praise". Prior to applying as an international student here in Canada, I have completed all academic course load leading to the degree Doctor of Philosophy majoring in Development Education. Currently, I am in the process of obtaining my teaching license from the Ontario College of Teachers.
