ABOUT ME

I am Jhay Manalo, 21 years old, born on September 29, 2004. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Secondary Education, Major in English at Lady of Lourdes of Caybiga Inc. As a dedicated student, I strive to balance my academic responsibilities with my creative passion, which lies in the field of multimedia and graphic design. At school, I am an active member of the LLC Editorial Team, where I contribute as an editor of publication materials for my section and the wider school community. Beyond editing, our team also organizes school events, giving me the opportunity to collaborate with fellow students, plan meaningful activities, and develop leadership and organizational skills.

To further enhance my expertise, I am currently taking an online course at TESDA in Graphic Design to gain technical knowledge and practical skills that I now apply in various projects. Beyond school, I serve as a Multimedia and Graphic Designer at JCCF Church, where I create and edit visual content that supports our ministry’s mission of spreading God’s Word. These experiences have deepened my passion for design and instilled in me a strong sense of service, discipline, and commitment to excellence.

In addition to my work in academics and design, I am also gifted in the field of music. I can play the piano and ukulele, and I use these talents to compose original Christian songs that reflect my faith and devotion to God. I also have a passion for singing, which I express both in personal worship and in church ministry. Through music, I am able to inspire others, share the message of faith, and further strengthen my creative identity.

While I continue to grow in the fields of design and music, my ultimate dream is to become a professional English teacher. I envision combining both my love for teaching and my creative abilities to inspire students, communicate effectively, and make learning more engaging. With every step I take—whether through academics, editorial work, design projects, music, or event organizing—I am preparing myself to become not only a skilled educator but also a creative professional who can make a meaningful impact in both the classroom and the community.
