More info about me
Hello, I'm Arlene, a skilled professional who worked as former Administrative Support Specialist in the Philippine Air Force. I am eager to start working as a virtual assistant, despite having no previous experience in the VA world. With my 20 years of service while in the military, I honed my administrative, communication, training management and social skills; developed a versatile set of capabilities that allow me to adapt to any situation and gained valuable experience in a variety of roles from delivering top- notch passenger service, security detail engagements, managing email, creating communication documents and performing other administrative support duties.
I'm inspired to become a freelancer and turn my free time into a productive one and earn extra income. Honestly, I can't compete with the experienced Virtual Assistants, but I really want to show what skills I could offer: hardwork, time management, and able to produce a quality of work that is required to me.
I am excited to grow and learn as a virtual assistant and to provide exceptional service to clients. If you're looking for someone who is eager to learn and willing to work hard, then I'm the perfect fit for you.
