As a Child Protection and Welfare advocate, Ellen Grace helps facilitate capacity-building activities and events promoting child rights and welfare, including her strong support for mental health and wellness in the school setting. She also advocated for the “Barkada Kontra Droga” Program of DepEd Caraga, believing it can help learners become effective agents in drug-abuse prevention. Despite adversities, she molded herself to be a voice for the youth by being a self-made and consummate professional. She firmly believes that God is the one who orchestrated her journey amid the twists and turns that happened in her life, considering the tough times as learning and growing times. Nurse Ellen Grace is a happy wife and a mother of two successful sons: one is now a registered electrical engineer, and the other is a senior HS academic achiever - they, her loved ones, are the sources of her strength as a woman, next to God. Ellen Grace is one of the nurses of Agusan Del Sur Division but is currently detailed at the DepEd Regional Office in Butuan City. DepEd Caraga is indeed blessed to have an empowered woman like her.
