Summary

I have been working as a Virtual Assistant for the past five years, and my professional journey spans nearly two decades in sales, technical support, and customer service. Throughout this time, I’ve experienced my fair share of ups and downs—facing moments of stress, frustration, disengagement, insecurity, resentment, and uncertainty, but also gaining a deeper understanding of purpose, motivation, belonging, confidence, appreciation, and stability. Through it all, I’ve developed and refined qualities I never knew I had. This line of work has taught me the real value of resourcefulness, discipline, dedication, integrity, and the importance of maintaining a constructive mindset. I’ve embraced the ongoing process of self-education and upskilling, learning to trust in myself and my abilities.

Over the years, I’ve learned to trust myself and my judgment, to focus on what I can control, to ask for feedback and use it to grow, and to celebrate both the major milestones and small daily wins. These are the habits and mindsets I bring to every role I take on.

I’m proud of how far I’ve come, but I’m not done growing. I’m eager to bring my skills, work ethic, and commitment to excellence to a team where I can contribute meaningfully—and continue to evolve in an environment that challenges and supports me.
