It was 2004, when I started to work from home as a Virtual Assistant. It was a year when Virtual Assistants were hardly ever known. All Virtual Assistant related tasks had been learned from scratch.
17 years after, I have acquired different Virtual Assistant Skills, developed professionalism and the work ethic necessary to promote and maintain a healthy and harmonious working relationship with my clients over years.
17 years of being in this industry as a professional online freelance Virtual Assistant, I've gained the wisdom and knowledge in running different areas of a business, starting from being an Executive Virtual Assistant to handling Supply Chain and B2B transactions.
I am passionate in what I do and I am looking to partner with clients who foresee a long term work relationship.
I am a believer of attitude over technical skills. In my experience, I have proven that I only needed to have the right attitude, motivation and the strong desire to learn a certain job for me to successfully perform the responsibilities entrusted to me. The technical skills have been learned on the job and mastered through the years.
