Ms
Jermaine Chloe De Leon
Political Scientist and Juris Doctor student with a strong focus on research, governance, and decision-making within organisations. Passionate about bringing clarity to complex issues and examining how leadership, policy, and corporate choices shape institutions and the people they serve. Currently contributing to research and advisory work with an Australian consulting firm, supporting projects that intersect strategy, governance, and executive leadership.
My research interests focus on policy development, governance, and the role of legal institutions in shaping effective public administration. As a former legislative intern, I had the opportunity to observe and contribute to the legislative process, which strengthened my interest in how laws are developed, debated, and implemented to address social and economic challenges. This experience deepened my understanding of the relationship between governance structures and economic policy. I am particularly interested in examining how comparative policy approaches and institutional practices from other economies can inform more effective legislative and regulatory frameworks in the Philippines. Through my ongoing Juris Doctor studies and research work, I aim to explore how legal systems, governance mechanisms, and policy innovation can support sustainable development, institutional accountability, and improved public outcomes. My broader goal is to contribute to policy research that strengthens legislative processes and encourages international dialogue on governance and economic policy.
