My name is Darj Louress Gayatao. I was born and raised in the Philippines and I moved to the United States when I turned 16. I speak 2 languages; Tagalog (Philippines) and English fluently. I am also a native Ilonggo- Filipino speaker. Hence, I studied Spanish in highschool for 3 years and received an award for my academic excellence as a beginner. I am proud to say that I was an asset in my school in the Philippines because of the extracurricular activities I have participated. I was featured as a young news reporter competitor, math olympian, a leader, school pageant representative, acting expertise, essay writing and other activities. I graduated in Westmoore high school where I finished with honors and was a part of different school clubs. I was a club officer and also was a part of top 10% of the National Honors Society members who achieved high points scale. I am currently a working student and I value time management while prioritizing my responsibilities and work ethics.
