OUR FOUNDER’S WHY
What’s My “Why” for Starting My Virtual Assistance Business?
Growing up in the Philippines, I always dreamed of becoming an entrepreneur. Even as a child, I sold ice candy, peanuts, and other small items to earn money. Despite being financially poor, I felt rich in happiness, thanks to my family’s support.
I earned a Marketing Degree in 2018 and began my career in a digital marketing agency, where I quickly excelled, thanks to the guidance of my colleagues. But it was during the pandemic, while caring for my mom who was hospitalized with COVID, that I discovered my true calling: working remotely, having more time for myself, and helping businesses succeed from anywhere.
This led me to start my Virtual Assistance business—
something I’m truly passionate about. I enjoy working with businesses that care deeply about their work, and I thrive on helping them grow. As my business expanded, I saw the potential to create opportunities for Filipinos back home, many of whom just need a chance to show their skills.
I reached out to clients on LinkedIn, Facebook, and through referrals, and while some rejections came my way, I knew the right opportunities would come in time—and they did.
Currently, I’m studying Project Management in Australia to further expand my business globally, while working alongside my partners to launch our company.
My goal is to expand this business and help aspiring virtual assistant Filipinos with employment opportunities that allow them to use their full potential and help businesses around the world thrive.
