In 2021, Jodi graduated with a B.S. in Psychology from Southville International School and Colleges

 

"Success comes to those who want it, and sometimes you have to ask yourself 'how much do I want this?' I dreamt of finishing my schooling ever since I entered show business and today, after more than a decade, marks the fulfillment of that dream. After 4 long years, I am here graduating from college," Jodi wrote in a caption.

 

 

During a press conference for her hit series Lavender Fields finale week, Jodi revealed that she plans to pursue a master’s degree in clinical psychology in 2025.

“This year, I’m taking up my master’s degree in clinical psychology,” Jodi said.  “Kasi naiisip ko, as a human being, parang I can do so much more. Na parang mayroon pang life outside of show business. Naisip ko na, oo, I’m an actor, but I can put on another hat,” she continued.

 

 

The actress also noted how she personally enjoyed learning, saying. “Nag-eenjoy kasi ako. For some weird reason, I enjoy the feeling of being in a class. Gusto ko 'yung student ako—nakaupo, nakaka-learn ako ng mga bagong things. Parang that sparks joy in my heart. It fascinates me.”

 

Jodi then revealed her ultimate goal is to make mental health services accessible to everyone. 

 

“It’s my dream to put up a small center to make mental health accessible to all—hindi lang for people na kaya magbayad, but para sa lahat,” Jodi explained.

 

The actress went on: “'Yung heart ko, from the time I started studying psychology, when I did acupuncture detox and got my certification there, 'yun talaga nasa heart ko. And God willing, 'yung dream na 'yun will turn into reality.”
