Ms. Joyce Mae M. Pino

She may not be very visible around the University, but part of her job is ensuring that everything is accounted for, every detail is checked and confirmed, everyone is accountable for everything.

Ms. Joyce Mae M. Pino works in the University’s Internal Audit Office. “Initially, I planned to work in Manila, but my parents requested for me to work in Dumaguete,” she said.

Pino, a native Dumagueteña, graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy at Silliman in 2016, and is now a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). She has been serving Silliman for 2 months now, being one of the University’s youngest staff.

“…the job of an internal auditor is a challenge in itself. To help me with this, I ask my colleagues in the office for tips. Prayers also help me in dealing with [the difficulties].”
