Belle Yuzon
Position: UKEAS Counselor
Hello I'm Belle! I studied International Studies majoring in American Studies at De La Salle University. I am an independent person who likes to discover and try new things. I am still new in the counseling industry but I am loving every bit of my time with my students. I am also interested in the field of Psychology and I am hoping that I can apply for Masters this year. I'm a firm believer that without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.

Position: UKEAS Education Outreach Coordinator
Hi there! My name is Bea. I graduated from DLSU with a degree of International Studies major in European Studies. I am a free-spirited individual with a passion for various things. I love to travel around the Philippines and Asia with my family and friends, I like doing something new and different to spice things up a little bit, and I have a desire to always improve myself. I encourage nothing less of living outside the box and discovering places you've never been to before! Besides, life's too short to hold back -- keep taking risks because you only have one life to live.
