Nico Jay W. Dauz, BS Psychology, CHRA

I'm Nico Jay W. Dauz, a 22-year-old Psychology graduate from Cavite City, Philippines. I earned my degree from Cavite State University – Silang Campus, located in Silang, Cavite, Philippines, where I completed the Bachelor of Science in Psychology program. I am a solo child and grew up in a broken family.

During my studies, I also served in the Philippine Army for over three years. I worked as an administrative assistant, helping manage the ROTC Program for college and supporting reservist personnel throughout the province of Cavite. In addition to my duties, I assisted with personnel documentation, data management, morale monitoring, and other HR functions in the support system of operations, which deepened my understanding of leadership, discipline, and service.

My passion for writing began as a personal journey and evolved into a mission to help others understand themselves. I am now writing about mental health, lifestyle, and personal development, and other life advice that aims to turn complex ideas into relatable and helpful content. I've contributed to blogs, newsletters, and online platforms, always to make readers feel informed, seen, and supported. I also volunteered in a relief program operation, where we proceeded to Marinduque and Tarlac, providing psychological first aid to people affected by the typhoon's damage, alongside the assistance from the Philippine Army's military personnel.

I hold a Certified Human Resource Associate (CHRA) certification and also passed the Career Service Professional - Professional Level in the Philippines.

My long-term goal is to become a military psychologist, combining my academic background, military experience, and the passion for mental health to support others in meaningful ways.

Writing for me is more than a skill; it's my way of serving in a civilian capacity and giving morale boosts to the quiet challenges that people face. Through my words, hoping to offer strength, and understanding to them.
