Hannah Castro

I am Hannah Fatima Kaye Castro, a licensed Sanitary Engineer with a degree in Environmental and Sanitary Engineering from the Technological Institute of the Philippines – Quezon City. With a solid foundation in sustainable design, regulatory compliance, and environmental data management, I have gained hands-on experience through internships, research work, and leadership roles. My background includes designing septage treatment systems, supporting greenhouse gas emission studies, and completing TESDA-certified plumbing training. I am passionate about contributing to projects that promote public health, environmental protection, and sustainable development, and I am eager to grow within a forward-thinking organization.

My professional experience includes a diverse range of roles that have strengthened both my technical and communication skills in the field of environmental and sanitary engineering. I completed my internship at Woodfields Consultants Inc., where I assisted in the design of a septage treatment plant using tools such as AutoCAD, SewerGEMS, and QGIS. I also worked as a Research Assistant for a Greenhouse Gas Emission Study in Makati City, where I was responsible for data collection, stakeholder coordination, and policy support. In addition, I have held roles in both municipal and academic settings, including serving as an engineering office staff member at Taytay Municipal Hall and working as a language instructor for over three years, which helped develop my adaptability and leadership skills. These experiences have equipped me with a practical understanding of design, project coordination, and environmental compliance.

My academic background in Environmental and Sanitary Engineering from the Technological Institute of the Philippines – Quezon City provided a strong foundation in sustainable water and wastewater management, environmental compliance, and public health engineering. The program, accredited by ABET, emphasized both theoretical knowledge and practical application, which I was able to further develop through various design projects. Notably, I led the design of a 223 m³/day septage treatment plant for Plaridel, Bulacan, where I applied engineering principles to create cost-effective and environmentally sound solutions. My coursework and training also included seminars on environmental impact assessment, wastewater systems, rainwater collection, and climate solutions—strengthening my ability to design systems that are both compliant with local standards and aligned with global sustainability goals.
