I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accountancy, earning the distinction of Summa Cum Laude from Saint Columban College.

The REACH Program, under the HERO Foundation, has greatly supported me by financing my education. I owe this milestone to them, as I was able to focus on my studies without worrying about expenses such as tuition, school materials, uniforms, and allowances. Although I lost my father at a very young age, his absence did not hinder me from obtaining my degree, thanks to God, my mother, and, of course, the HERO Foundation. The HERO Foundation is a blessing to our family and to the lives of orphans like me.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English Language Studies, achieving Magna Cum Laude at Ateneo de Zamboanga University.

HERO Foundation has been there for me since Grade 1, and until college, they supported me. Although I never had a father to provide for me, we never struggled even through rising costs of inflation and the pandemic. Throughout my academic career, my mom and I never had to worry about how and where to source money just to send me to school or pay for school requirements. I believe my life would be so different without them.
