Ashley Riz Advincula

Ashley Advincula holds a Bachelor’s degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering from the University of the Philippines. She began her career in the power supply industry before discovering her passion for seabed mapping. She gained valuable experience in hydrography while working with the national mapping agency of the Philippines, where she conducted both shallow- and deep-water bathymetric surveys mainly for the creation of nautical charts that support safe navigation.

Before joining CCOM, she worked as a surveyor mapping deep-sea environments, including the Tonga Trench and South Shetland Trough. She aims to grow as a knowledgeable and effective hydrographic surveyor while pursuing FIG/IHO/ICA Category A certification. Outside of work, she enjoys outdoor adventures, cozy exploration and sandbox-style computer games, and a bit of Pokémon.
