I am an Ordained Elder in Full Connection and a member of the East Ohio Annual Conference.
I was born and raised in the Philippines (both identified as Asian and Pacific Islander). I am Bi-lingual and fluent both in English and Tagalog-Pilipino. I grew up and nurtured in the Asian/Filipino culture but also assimilated and adapted in the Western/American culture. Trained, educated and served churches both in the Philippines and the United States. I served churches in the Philippines for Eight years and I am on my 23rd year serving churches in the United Sates. My pastoral experiences include but not limited to serving churches both in the Philippines and the United States, from city churches to country churches. It helped me appreciate and have a better understanding of the diverse and multicultural nature of our global denomination. Honored to be elected delegate to the 2008 Jurisdictional Conference; 2012 & 2016 General Conferences; 2019 Special General Conference.
I received my Bachelors of Science in Civil Engineering from the Far Eastern University (Manila, Philippines); Master of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary (Philippines) and Master of Theology from Western Theological Seminary (Holland, Michigan).
