Aurie, as she is fondly known, currently serves as Assistant Secretary to the Mindanao Confederation of Student Governments (Unyon Mindanao) Ambassador – AdDU Chapter for Academic Year 2025–2026. In this capacity, she has demonstrated strong leadership in student representation, collaboration, and engagement in broader institutional and regional initiatives.

She has likewise held key roles in multiple student organizations, including as Executive Undersecretary of the Philippine Nursing Students’ Association – Ateneo, and as Campaigns and Advocacy – Content Development Head of the ADDU Nursing Student Executive Council. She also serves as Core Facilitator for Content Development under the Ateneo First Year Onboarding Program (AFYOP), where she has contributed meaningfully to the formation, orientation, and accompaniment of incoming students into the Ateneo de Davao University community.

Beyond her formal roles, she has led initiatives both within and beyond her designated responsibilities, reflecting a sustained commitment to service and formation within the Ateneo community. An incoming 4th-year BS Nursing student, she brings with her a consistent record of student leadership, meaningful engagement, and dedication to community-building within and beyond the University.

Congratulations and all the best, Aurie! 🥳🧡🩵
