In 2009, there was a GFC (Global Financial Crisis) and I needed a new job and stumbled upon the role of a Virtual Assistant - someone who did admin work from home.

I met with Liz a VA Coach to learn more about it and discovered that there was this new world emerging called Social Media. If I want to be good as a Virtual Assistant it was best I niched.

So, I dove straight in and learnt how to make sales via Twitter before most people knew what a Tweet was. This platform has since been purchased by Elon Musk and is now called X.

Through this role as a Twitter Ad Sales Consultant, I gained a role as a digital events manager for an entrpreneurial and startup magazine.

Which then roled into Online Business Mangemange and Filippino VA Recruitment. Building systems, processes and Affiliate Marketing opportunities for various clients.

I then found myself helping clients as they asked and began a Digital Operations and Automations service connecting Facebook to the website to the email marketing to the calendar booking system through to client onboarding, invoicing and service delivery.

Through this I found myself building systems and training virtual assistants to run them. Which made sense that I join a recruitment agency to help them create a new service offering in systemising and scaling whilst supporting their Filippino team's growth and development.

After a while, I became aware that all the things I was doing for my clients wasn't being done for me. I had no assets, portfolio or training material to share with anybody as I was always doing it for others.

So, I decided to invest in becoming a Hypnotherapist and NLP Life Coach unearthing my hidden beliefs that held me back. Which has lead me to this growth journey.... I am now embarking on.
