About

I have taught for 25 years, the last twenty at Norala Central Elementary School in South Cotabato, where I teach Grade 6 Visual Arts and Science to more than 200 pupils a year across a 420-minute daily load. Before that I taught physics, general science and visual arts at secondary level, so I am comfortable from Grade 1 through Grade 12. I hold a Master of Arts in Educational Management and Philippine teaching licence 0841608, and I have no United States credential, so I would complete the California or Nevada pathway if a district required it.

What distinguishes my classroom is that art and science are taught together rather than traded off. I authored a complete K-6 Visual Arts and Science workbook series aligned to NCAS, NGSS, CCSS and CASEL, with student books and teacher guides, and as a DepEd National Illustrator I designed K-12 textbooks used in more than 47,000 schools. I am a 2019 Metrobank Most Outstanding Teacher national finalist with five published research papers. I do my best work in small rural communities where one teacher can carry a subject across several grades, and I am available from August 2027.
