She is medical doctor by original profession and faculty member of various medical schools in the city. But her desire to expand her competence in order to help more people led her to become a registered financial consultant, a pastoral counselor in the Redemptorist Family Center Cebu, an accredited addiction specialist, a study coordinator on Lundbeck Clinical Trials for Schizophrenia, and a trained family dynamics and counselling specialist by the Ateneo CEFAM. She is an active member of the Commission on Family and Life of the Archdiocese of Cebu.
