The Remarkable Journey of a Nurse-Turned-Lawyer:

Marie Fe Siton, R.N., J.D. an esteemed alumna of SISC BSN Class of 2009, emerged from one of
the largest and most vibrant batches of nursing graduates. Her journey, however, took an
extraordinary turn when she discovered a deep passion for law. Fueled by determination, she
embarked on a challenging yet fulfilling path to earning her degree from the prestigious
University of the Philippines College of Law.

After successfully passing the Bar Exam, Marie Fe immersed herself in the
dynamic field of corporate law. Her unique foundation as a healthcare
professional and Registered Nurse provided her with a distinct advantage,
offering invaluable insights into the complexities of the healthcare industry.
This blend of expertise allowed her to approach her legal practice with a
broader and more empathetic perspective.

With heartfelt gratitude to her roots, Marie Fe has remained connected to SISC by serving as an
inspiring guest and resource speaker during college events and assemblies. Her words of
wisdom have motivated students to dream big and strive to maximize their potential. She also
briefly took on the role of a part-time lecturer in the College of Nursing, where she shared her
knowledge and passion for both healthcare and the law.
Determined to further her education and explore greater opportunities, Marie Fe set her sights
on New York, where she pursued advanced studies and earned her Juris Doctor degree. While
awaiting her New York license to practice law, she ventured to the Midwest and now thrives as
a litigation lawyer in Kansas. Her unwavering commitment to growth and excellence drives her
forward as she gains valuable experience in her legal career.

Looking to the future, she envisions returning to the Philippines to
establish her own law firm—a testament to her dedication to giving
back to her homeland and sharing the wealth of knowledge and
experience she has gained abroad.
Her journey from healthcare to the courtroom is a shining example of
how passion, perseverance, and the willingness to embrace new challenges can lead to
remarkable achievements. Atty. Siton’s story inspires us to dream boldly and pursue our goals
with unwavering determination, no matter how unconventional the path may seem. CAV
