I am a mom of two lovely and smart girls. A petite woman who has big dreams for my family. A home-based worker who is also a quick-learner even with zero knowledge of something that would require my part. I started as a VA for my client with no knowledge of the skill sets he tasked me to do, but through his very helpful and straightforward tutorial videos, I am now one of his part-time VAs to whom he usually entrusts some harder files that require the use of Adobe InDesign and Sony Vegas, sometimes do sales funnels for his digital marketing business. I also teach English to Japanese students on flexible working hours under an online ESL school.

Writing is my first love and I love writing since I was in high school. I am a shy-type of person, so I am trying to crack my shell and going out of my comfort zone, especially in offering my services as a freelance general writer to companies, in fear of being rejected for lack of complete professional knowledge, experience, or skills, as I hone my skills independently by reading and watching tutorials for effective writing. That is why I only write articles for a content mill writing platform during my spare time under different niches and topics. I choose an article topic in the project pool, grab it and write articles following the instructions of the project manager of that article project set and pass it before the deadline. I'm like a ghostwriter for them as I don't have a byline for the articles I write for them. The good thing that I can say about being a writer in that platform is my works are appreciated by the editors and constantly encourages me to be more than what I am offering. I am constantly praying and hoping that I could regain my confidence and companies will start recognizing my hard work and build lasting working relationships with them. I want to experience the freedom in writing through different niches that I am confident I can fit into while enjoying the perks of being a writer.

I juggle in-between jobs and my family without sacrificing what God tasked me to do first - my family. I love working at home. It gives me the independence to be recognized for my work while giving my family the quality time they deserve.
