About Bibi
Having grown up in the United States in a Filipino family, I have always been driven to understand just how big this world is and how to make it better for all. This curiosity brought me to love language learning and tutoring, international relations and development, and public service in the interest of connecting with others, understanding their needs, and finding efficient, tailored ways to help. After my bachelor's degree at Tufts University, I worked at Deloitte Government & Public Services where I worked with local to federal to international clients to advance their services to their respective communities. I am now a graduate student of public policy at Harvard Kennedy School to sharpen my analytical skills and expertise in migrant integration and protection as climate change, conflict, and economic opportunity will continue to drive human movement all over the globe. I am passionate about empowerment of underrepresented communities (I see you, fellow women of color!), social and racial justice, and equity.
Why do I coach?
It takes a village! I could not be where I am today without the support, in many forms, from countless mentors, friends, and family throughout my academic and professional choices. With their help, I overcame my intimidation of case interviews, learned to advocate for myself and achieve my professional goals, and dig deep into what drives me, put it on the page, and be admitted into top public policy programs with $172,500 offered in scholarships. I am coaching to pass on the lessons, frameworks, tools, and reminders that have helped propel my journey through a career in public service through management consulting, graduate school, and volunteer work that can apply to anyone, especially women of color, looking to make their next big move. I am first and foremost a people person who loves to help others express their stories, sharpen their thinking, and realize their value.
