President Marcos has named Michelle Mae Gonzales as the commission at large of the National Youth Commission (NYC).

The President appointed Gonzales to a three-year term as commissioner at large on Aug. 12. She will replace former NYC Commissioner at large Laurence Anthony Diestro.

Malacañang released photos of Gonzales’ oath-taking before Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin on Friday afternoon.

According to her LinkedIn profile, Gonzales earned her Bachelor of Science in Marketing Management from De La Salle University. She finished high school at the Assumption College San Lorenzo in Makati City.

Led by Ronald Gian Carlo Cardema, the NYC is the policymaking and coordination body of the government’s youth-related institutions, programs, projects and activities.
