As a Language Arts Instructor, in the case of the institution, I created a module of instruction for the understanding and comprehensive usage of the English Language. The primary aim of the course was to build the students’ vocabulary in the language and train them rigorously in grammar and composition to make them conversant and able to produce quality write-ups.

Disputes Arbitrator Freelancer.com,

21st floor, 6788 Standard Chartered

Building, Ayala Avenue, Makati City

I was assigned to resolve disputes between Employers and Freelancers.

Freelancer.com, an Australia-based freelancing site, had created a department that addresses grievances by both Employers and Freelancers when their needs within a lodged project had not been met. Any of the parties can file for a dispute.

An arbitrator like me enters the picture when investigations need to be administered. The investigation entails a rigorous review of communication between the Employer and Freelancer, outputs submitted by the latter, and instructions given by the former. At the end of the investigation, I shall be awarding the sum within the site’s escrow payment to whom I see to be the genuinely aggrieved party.

I’m 5’4” inches tall, artistically inclined (well, that’s what my mom tells me), and in optimum health. I write, draw, act and pretty much dedicated to the honing of my craft towards a higher purpose.
