She was a beloved figure who inspired many FEU students, co-teachers, and fellow managers, throughout her years of service in the academe.
“FEU IE will always be grateful to her for showing us how to battle for the right and to rise above difficult circumstances in life,” according to a post from the FEU IE Facebook page.
After her stint as IE Dean, she became Consultant for Academic Planning and Development of FEU Roosevelt Inc. She spearheaded the “FEUR PASSION TO TEACH” learning and development programs for FEU Roosevelt teachers.
