About Us
Alina Padilla-Miller
PhD, Founder and CEO
I’ve spent over a decade as a media production instructor, watching talented students graduate without anywhere to point to as proof of what they can actually do. I started UniFreelancer to give them that: a direct path from the classroom to paid, real-world work, while they’re still students.

Baron and I collaborated on UniFreelancer from the first line of code: the marketplace, the Academy, the payments, and the parts you never see. We worked through every piece of it together to build a place where students turn their skills into paid work.

Aiden and I built UniFreelancer side by side, from university verification to escrowed contracts and payouts. It’s still being built, and we ship the next version as soon as we hear from a student or a client.
We’re here to help.
UniFreelancer connects university students and alumni directly with clients who need real work done: design, code, writing, tutoring, and everything in between. Students get paid for skills they already have and build a track record before they graduate.
For students and alumni, that means turning what you’ve learned in the classroom into paid, real-world work. You set your own rates, choose your own clients, and build a portfolio that speaks for itself instead of waiting for a resume line to do it.
For universities, it’s a way to support students’ career readiness and stay connected to graduates building real careers.
And for clients, it’s access to university-verified students and alumni, without the overhead of a traditional agency.
UniFreelancer is currently in beta. Your feedback helps us improve. Email us at info@unifreelancer.com with your feedback. We’d love to hear from you.
