One of Trails' "bloomers", Teacher Aileen has been with the center since she graduated from the University of Santo Tomas and passed the Board of Occupational Therapist Licensure Examination in 2003. Together with her group, she garnered the Best Scientific Paper on Biofeedback vs. Inhibitory NDT Techniques in Reducing Spasticity: A Pilot Study. Her group was also awarded as the Best Internship Group.

Aileen is passionate about her work and is dedicated in helping children reach their full potential. She has attended various seminars on medical play therapy and collaboration with other allied medical professionals.

Her colleagues agree that she has a soothing singing voice, not knowing that she became a choir member of the Sub-Parish Youth Choir of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary in Alabang, Muntinlupa City from 2000-2001. A self-confessed dog-lover, she plays with her three dogs at home after a day's work. She may initially impress a person as someone who's serious but her close friends would attest to her sense of humor, kindness and patience. Teacher Aileen appreciates good food but it doesn't show in her petite built. She is also the unofficial Human Resource Manager of Trails since she has been very diligent in choosing consultants who can work well with the Trails team.

Aileen has been involved in the evaluation and management of pediatric cases such as autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, behavioral problems, dyspraxia, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, global developmental delay, learning disability, hearing impairment and mental retardation.
