I have a bachelor's degree in Biology (majored in Zoology). I am a seasoned Business & Personal Virtual Assistant with over 8 years of experience. I have also worked in a local private company as a Scientific Sales Associate for over a year.
I am seeking a job where I can apply my extensive work experience, knowledge, and skills, while assisting my employer and contributing to the success and growth of the business I work for.
I have worked for several businesses, including an Amazon (FBA) business, a veterinary clinic, and short-term rentals with listings in Airbnb, VRBO, and Hipcamp. Here in the Philippines, I have worked for a private company providing research and laboratory supplies.
I know how to anticipate needs and possible issues that may arise in my work, and proactively address them. I have strong organizational, leadership, and management skills, which helped me create efficient processes for my employers and the businesses I work for. I also have keen attention to detail. I am knowledgeable in a variety of tasks, and I am capable of working on multiple tasks and prioritizing them.
Moreover, I am a fast learner and have excellent critical thinking and problem-solving skills. I am proficient in both written and verbal English communication.
Lastly, I am comfortable in working both independently and as part of a team.
