Education

Bachelor of Arts in International Development

De La Salle University - Dasmarinas, Class of 2022

My transcript has been evaluated and recognized as a U.S. equivalency Bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution by World Education Services (WES), a U.S. Department of Education-recognized credential evaluation service.

Gail is an exceptional writer! She understood what we were trying to do, took the style guide we had to heart, and was very reliable. It brought a lot of piece of mind knowing that the next article she would create was just as good as the previous one. Even if things didn't go as planned and certain data wasn't available, she suggested a good alternative and kept going. Highly recommended!
