My name is Irene Gargaceran, also known as Ms. Makaw. I was a caregiver student who became an instructor with the help of Lifeline. I took up the Caregiving NC II course in December 2021. I started with online sessions and then shifted to face-to-face classes. I passed my NC II on August 11, 2022, and I joined Lifeline as a part-time faculty member in January of this year.

I am blessed to have been given the opportunity to learn new skills, share over 18 years of combined experience in corporate and non-corporate settings, and most importantly, build a career in caregiving both in teaching and in practice. Thank you, Lord, for Lifeline!
