How I Came to Be at BGMPS |
I began my career at BGMPS as a science teacher in 2006, under the leadership of Principal Rosario Davila. I was the only science teacher, instructing boys-only and girls-only 6th grade, 7th grade, and 8th grade Science class. I remained under her leadership for 3 years while completing my Masters Degree. Upon becoming a counselor, I left BGMPS and sought other professional avenues, but all the while had an emptiness inside. After some years away, I returned to BGMPS in 2014 year as a counselor and science teacher, and alas, the emptiness in no longer present! I am where Jesus wants me!

Background |
I began a long and arduous undergraduate campaign thinking I was to become an M.D. I loaded up on every science class offered, but did not feel any sense of fulfillment. I thought of becoming a Catholic priest, but when I clearly heard Jesus' voice point to the most wonderful woman in the world and say "There is your wife!", well, that was out. So, after consulting Jesus, I went into the mental/spiritual healing practices and became a counselor. Along the way, I received a Vatican-issued Diploma for Religious Instruction through Our Lady of Perpetual Help Lay Formation Program. God has an awesome way of timing events to form you into how He wants you to be, all in His time!
