Hello, everyone! Sana masarap ulam niyo today!
Nickname: I actually have three names — Maria Alexa Sharmaine — pero sa bahay, they call me Ken.
Feel free to call me whatever you’re comfy with, kasi tatlo naman name ko hehe. Kahit ano diyan, keri lang!
Your role & company / Your year & school: Fresh IT Graduate here hehe, from Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges
A fun fact about you: I’m a BDO Queen — we find ways! ![]()
I didn’t even have a laptop or Wi-Fi at home, so I BDO-ed my way through college. While working as a babysitter and tutor in a nearby household, dun ako nakihiram ng laptop at kumonek sa Wi-Fi. ![]()
Despite all that, I still became Project Head, Presenter, and Documentation Writer for our IT capstone — and even won Best Presenter and Best in Paper. From being a booklover who once hated tech to an IT grad who led a whole system project… plot twist much? ![]()
What do you hope to learn or experience in KadaKareer? Gusto kong matuto from the real stories and experiences of others — hindi lang yung theories, pero yung actual journey nila. Para makita ko rin kung paano ko ma-aapply sa career path ko as a fresh grad. At syempre, gusto ko rin maka-meet ng new people and grow with a supportive community.
How would you like to contribute to the community? Gusto kong mag-share ng insights and experiences ko bilang student/grad na dumaan sa maraming plot twists. Maybe I can inspire or encourage others na kahit may challenges, kaya pa rin maka-find ways. Also, I’d love to cheer on other members and support their journeys.
