About

I currently hold a position in academia serving both as a lecturer and coordinator at Far Eastern University. As lecturer, teach subjects on High Crimes at Sea and Crisis Management. My research focus is on geopolitical dynamics in the South China Sea, specifically how the use of language is strategically through producing quantitive data. Simultaneously, I serve as the Coordinator for the International Relations Office where I operationalize globalization and internationalization through strict compliance with CHED policies.

My research focus led me to my position as Project Manager for the Philippine International Law of the Sea Academy, the premier academic non-profit capacity-building organization in the Philippines dedicated to teaching, researching, and training individuals in the modern rule of law of the sea.
