Markian Making it Big in New York

Updated: Dec 9, 2022


Big congratulations are in order for our alumna Allesandra Vilches from HS 2006 for recently passing the New York Bar Examinations.


Ms. Vilches, most commonly known as Allessi by family and friends, was her batch's Valedictorian. After completing her high school diploma, she then proceeded to take up AB Literature at the Ateneo de Manila University where she received her Latin honors as "Cum Laude". She then moved on to the Ateneo School of Law where she was awarded Second Honors - Juris Doctor in 2014. She passed the Philippine Bar in 2015.


Her academic journey did not end there of course, as she then moved to the United States and entered the prestigious Northwestern University's Pritzker School of Law in Chicago, Illinois (Ranked in the top 13 US law schools for 2023) and completed her Master of Laws, again graduating with Honors in June 2022. She finally passed the New York State Bar examinations on October 2022.


Truly she has gone a long way from the time she was in High School, and we hope that her achievements serve as an inspiration to those who came after her.


Iba talaga ang tatak Markiano!


(Kudos to her proud mom Matilde Nida Vilches for sharing this achievement with us. Our partner in her education)
