Technical Specialist, Knowledge Management & Communication Specialist

I am currently working as a Knowledge Management and Communications Specialist in the field of geospatial analysis for environmental management and climate resilience. Until 2014, my main work experiences were increasingly focused upon urban climate resilience. Before joining ADPC in 2006, I was an Assistant Professor at the National College of Public Administration and Governance (UP-NCPAG), University of the Philippines. While teaching, I helped develop and was the lead person for pioneering Spatial Information Management specialization within the Masters in Public Administration curriculum. My research experience includes: (1) e-government assessment; (2) adopting geoinformation and GIS. I have served as a consultant in the area of GIS Design. My clients included Amellar Solutions, the Philippine National Police, the Philippine Army, and Polistrat International. I was also the consultant for e-government to the League of Cities of the Philippines Liaison Officers Association. I earned the following degrees: (1) a Masters with distinction in Geoinformation Management and Earth Observations from the International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC), specializing in Urban Land Administration (2000); (2) a Masters in Public Administration from UP-NCPAG (1995), specializing in public policy analysis; and (3) a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology cum laude from the University of the Philippines (1991).
