Board of Directors

Born and raised in the Carolinas, I had the opportunity to live and travel up and down the eastern seaboard. Additionally, my family lived in Liberia, West Africa, for about four years while I was in elementary school.  Upon returning to the States, we were shifted into the public-school system.  During part of my intermediate and high school years, I had the opportunity to be homeschooled.  This helped hone my skills in independent learning and self-motivated education.    As an experienced analyst with a demonstrated history of working in the hospital & health care industry, I had the opportunity to use my abilities in Hawaii. My skills include accounting, analytics, statistical analysis, communication, team building, and management. I also recently completed my Doctor of Health Administration degree focused on Health Administration from the University of Phoenix.  I am excited about this opportunity to support My Learning List's mission of providing assistance, resources, and information for individualized and self-directed learning.

Hello, my name is Kitchie, and I'm a life-long self-directed learner. I obtained a medical doctor degree from Manila, Philippines. And later on,  a Master's Degree in Health Administration & Informatics in the US, where I currently reside as a non-practicing physician.   Before becoming the President and Founder of My Learning List, I have developed broad, substantial work experience in many healthcare industry disciplines, including laboratory sciences, clinical medicine, finance, information technology, business development, and marketing.  My community involvement started many years ago when I participated in medical missions. In the past years, I've been volunteering in educating seniors about Medicare fraud and understanding Medicare.  My blessings include a beautiful family. My son is also a self-led learner who has an exciting, compelling gift in visual arts and unique learning opportunities. So, I understand the importance of a distinctive education path. This experience has ignited my passion for individualized and self-directed education. It is a learning that benefits every student of various abilities, empowered by their unique interests and talents.   So, be free to explore and discover, process all data and information. Take what is meaningful to you and come up with something new.  The natural development of skills and abilities builds self-confidence and boosts self-esteem.   After all, we will learn what we want to learn to do what we want to do.   

Hi, I'm Arlene, and I'm a business owner. But before starting my business, I'm a co-founder, and I  held positions such as president and director of a nonprofit in the Philippines. We established an organization that supported individuals with orthopedic, visual, and hearing impairments.   I helped in raising funds and developing the following programs:  Computer classes  Rehabilitation and Occupational Therapy services Job placement  I believe that individualized and self-directed education is a great way to empower all learners. Almost all of the skills I used to run a business and a nonprofit, I learned on my own.   In my experience, it's all about understanding what I want to do. Which helped guide me on what I want to learn.   I'm looking forward to supporting My Learning List's mission and expanding our reach to increase awareness about the benefits of individualized and self-directed learning.
