Career Summary
I started my career when I was 23 as a Registered Nurse. I begun volunteering with my batchmates who were also conurses. We went to some rural areas as part of the job. After sometime, I realized I wanted to grow more. I wanted to
expand my experiences. On the 2nd millenium year, an opportunity came for me to work outside the country and I
grabbed it without hesitation. I was initially based in a Tertiary Hospital with 500-600 bed capacity in one of the big
provinces in Saudi Arabia. I was fortunate to be assigned in a special area, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. I was
promoted as a Head Nurse on my third year of service due to my excellence and competence as a Critical Nurse as
evaluated by my superiors . I didn't accept the offer though. I wanted to explore more. I wanted to work to other bigger
hospital. My biggest achievement during the length of my contract was the case presentation I performed about a 620gram preterm who survived the challenge of life. I was then awarded 2nd place on the case presentation competition and
the only Filipino Nurse granted with a recommendation from the Director of Ministry of Health, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
My next work experience was quite challenging. I was hired by a University Hospital under the Ministry of Higher
Education and was assigned in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. It was a defying experience on my part for I have to take
care of a different community, the Pediatric Community. The difference was extensive that i had to adjust intensely. I
easily adapted into the environment and worked efficiently with gracefulness. Albeit unrewarded in-spite of my excellence
in work, I was acknowledged as one of the best nurses in PICU and was most trusted, as openly verbalized by my
colleagues and superiors, as well as the parents. I was dubbed as 'The Most Requested Nurse' especially in Emergency
Department for IV insertion due to my sharp vision for the tiniest veins in babies, particularly the dark-skinned tone ones. I
only spent 2 years and a half in the said hospital and decided to finish my contract. I decided to stay for a while with my
parents. During those time I indulged myself on online networking. I was totally mesmerized by the technologies and its
innovations. By then, I realized I found a niche for myself that developed into a real passion. From then on, I found myself
pleased and blissful with what I have learned from all this technological stuff. Driven by the passion, I keep on exploring
of a never-ending upcoming technologies. Presently, I'm working as a home-based Online Administration Assistant and
have been enjoying it since the start of my new career, my new passion.

Awards & Honors
2nd Place - Case Presentation: A 620-gram Preterm's Journey to Life
Prince Abdullah bin AbdulAziz Hospital
Jun '03
A case presentation about a 620-gram preterm baby girl who was admitted to NICU for more than five months. She was
critically ill and cared extensively with priority during her stay in the unit. She experienced a lot of downfalls due to her
condition, that the NICU staff were almost losing hope that she will live. Most of her crashes were witnessed by her
parents especially by her father who religiously visits her everyday. Despite of her life's detour, she survived with no big
complications except for a very tiny deformity in her left ear due to pressure sore. Since her kind of health status was
crucial during her hospitality, minimal handling of her was required, thus pressure sores were inevitable albeit extensive
care given. Her case was presented after almost a year since her discharge from the NICU and due to her father's trust
Maria Sheryll Palma-Gil
and gratitude towards NICU staff, the father volunteered to send her daughter during the case presentation. She was then
formally introduced to the audience in the open stage after presenting her case. Baby Girl Fayrouz (not her real name), a
survivor, a fighter, a great representation of life's wonder and Allah's miracle. “There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” ― Albert Einstein

About Me
I started my career when I was 23 as a Registered Nurse. I begun volunteering with my batchmates who were also conurses. I went with them to rural areas that I didn't know, for the life of me, existed. I saw a lot of underprivileged families
but very happy and contented. That struck me and made me realize that somehow I'm blessed. Then I asked myself,
'What if I was one of them?' 'Would I be happy and contended too?' Maybe. Maybe not. Realizing the situation, I have
urged myself to help the indigenous people in any way I could. That was the beginning of my love to help. I continued
volunteering.
