hard and are often pushed to their limits, especially in the Philippines.
My experience with The Guardian Group has already emphasized the importance of thorough history-taking for my future patients.

This process not only aids in accurate diagnosis but also fosters trust and communication with patients.

I am a proud graduate of California State University, Long Beach and have a degree in Bachelor of Arts in Ethnic Studies. I attended medical school in the Philippines at the University of the East, Ramon Magsaysay and graduated in 2021.

I obtained my medical degree from UERM in Manila, Philippines. I underwent post-graduate training in Makati Medical Center after which I obtained my license to practice medicine in the Philippines. Before that, I obtained a bachelor’s degree in health sciences from the Ateneo De Manila University.
I have done many different roles for the Guardian, including as a manager, a medical assistant, a records and billing clerk, a historian, a QA editor, and as a liaison. One of the most important skills I’ve learned while doing all those roles was being able to adapt and apply solutions that provide the most benefit.
I learned the industry and how the company works so that I could solve problems or provide more value to our doctors. I think this was one of the most challenging experiences I had while working for the company because aside from my medical experience, I had no knowledge of the medical-legal industry when I first started out. I think what helped me overcome this issue and actually shine is my co-workers and manager. They took the time to share their knowledge in building me up so I could do the same for the company. I take this to heart and try to do the same with our newer employees. As an MD, working here has allowed me to learn the value of evidence-based medicine. It inspires me to ensure that I am competent enough to provide the proper evaluation and treatment that is fair to all.
In 2021, I earned my Doctor of Medicine degree from the De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute after completing my Bachelor of Science in Biology at De La Salle University, Manila, in 2017.

Passionate about continuous growth, I enjoy reading diverse literature and exploring the outdoors through activities like hiking.
At The Guardian Group, I’ve developed a deeper appreciation for empathy, teamwork, and the critical importance of meticulous record-keeping in supporting accurate claims and high-quality patient care.

This experience has deepened my understanding of the complexities of healthcare and strengthened my commitment to patient-centered practice. The collaborative environment and exposure to a network of healthcare professionals have offered invaluable opportunities for growth, development, and meaningful connections—these are among the most fulfilling aspects of my work at The Guardian Group.
