    "In 2005, I graduated from De La Salle University – Dasmariñas with a Bachelor’s degree in Communication. After a couple of years, I took up Education units to be a licensed English teacher. I got my professional teaching license in 2010.

    Most of my career life were spent in teaching English. I’ve been in the TESOL industry for almost 16 years now. I’ve taught English in schools, via online and private tuition.

    I also worked as a Customer Service Representative for more than a year answering calls from medical providers in California who would like to ask about their patients’ medical benefits and to follow-up on their claims. A part of my job was to resolve issues and make sure the providers would get what they deserved.

    I’ve also edited a book entitled Aurora which was an autobiography written by Ms Aurora Sta. Ana, and it was published in January 2020.

    I’ve been working as an Online TESOL Trainer and Assessor for an Australian RTO for 7 years now, but unfortunately, it’s on the brink of shutting down, so I’ve been looking for a full time job where I can use my skills and experiences in serving other people. In this role, I train and assess students, mostly Australians, who would like to be certified English teachers in Australia and abroad. I proofread our materials, assess their unit answers, give recommendations, facilitate and evaluate practicum teachings and update our database regarding our students' accounts.
    I have a Cert IV in TESOL and a Cert IV in Training and Assessment which were both taken online from Australian RTOs.

    I’m also currently working as an Online English Tutor for Chinese nationals, but since the salary isn’t very competitive, I’ve been looking for a full time and long term job that could help us with our overhead expenses and also extend our help to others in need.

    I hope you can consider me for this job. Thank you so much!"
