very passionate in helping others find the most appropriate solution to grow in their business
The many-sided character of the VA profession is also the character I see in myself. I am a visual person and an active planner, have detailed ideas and a goal-oriented mind that is eager to step into your business, in the virtual sense of the word. I am therefore passionate about self-development and helping others grow in their business.
You could describe me as a young enthusiast of digital entrepreneurship. From an early age, I can be found at my computer for a variety of pursuits. Communication and creativity merge beautifully on the Internet, and that captivates me. As I grow up, I suddenly knew that my ideal job would be a bundle of online activities – but not only did I know that! As a result of my integral zest for freedom and flexibility, I also aspired to be my own boss.
Data Entry and base line surveys were one of my first exercises in 2010 where I started working, in 2015 I got another employment on monitoring and evaluation to prepare for a bigger adventure (entrepreneurship). With the years of practice and trainings that many tutorials gave me, my skills grew – as did the possibilities of the Internet! I’ve learnt a lot about the maintenance and quality that a business requires, and I saw my web office as the foundation to launch my VA career. Since I’ve actually been able to experience how many worries business owners face, I decided that I wanted to help out other business owners. Add to that my passion for data entry, lead generation, social media campaigns and marketing, you have a multidisciplinary Virtual Assistant!
When I’m not working, my life involves family hangouts, watching my pet-Pidgeon’s, skills development, reads on life sustainability and natural health, spurs of creativity, photography, music, dancing, movies and have a passion for gardening.
Regards.
