Denden's Bionote

Danielle Marie A. Parreño is a lecturer at the Department of Psychology, University of the Philippines Diliman, and a Psychosocial Support Specialist from UP Diliman Psychosocial Services (UPD PsycServ). She recently finished her Master of Arts in Psychology (Clinical Psychology) at UP Diliman, where she studied the role of pets on one's mental health and well-being. Given this interest, Denden is a research consultant at Communitails, Inc., a community of human-animal bond advocates who believe that healing can occur mutually between people and animals. During her spare time, she creates illustrations, engages in mindfulness practice, and plays with her dogs, Luna and Kadi.
