Since 2019, I’ve worked as a freelancer specializing in business operations, project management, virtual assistance, and business consulting. Most recently, I served as a Business Development Manager at GoodUnited, where I coordinated multiple projects, managed client and internal communications, maintained CRM records, tracked deliverables, and worked across teams to keep initiatives moving.
Previously, I worked as a Junior Project Manager/Data Analyst, managing projects through Asana and Airtable while creating automations, dashboards, reports, and process documentation. I also handled client support, maintained SOPs and knowledge bases, followed up on outstanding tasks, and coordinated with different teams to make sure projects and requests were completed on time.
I also provide business consulting and operations support for a small business, where I help organize workflows, order management, production tracking, inventory processes, and operational documentation. This has involved identifying gaps in existing processes and creating simple systems and trackers to make responsibilities, pending tasks, and progress easier to monitor.
Tools & Applications:
HubSpot, Asana, Airtable, ClickUp, Trello, Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Slack, Miro, ManyChat, Google Analytics, Zoom, and Discord.

I’m a highly motivated individual who takes pride in achieving goals and contributing meaningfully to any team or project I’m part of. I bring a mix of determination, adaptability, and strong professional values that help me perform effectively in every role I take on.
Being goal-oriented has always been one of my strongest traits. I set clear, realistic objectives and break them down into actionable tasks. I like to track my progress, identify any challenges along the way, and adjust my approach when needed to ensure I reach or exceed my targets. This methodical mindset helps me stay focused and deliver consistent results.
One of my greatest strengths is communication. I express ideas clearly and can explain complex information in a simple, understandable way. Whether it’s collaborating with a team or handling individual tasks, I’m confident in my ability to listen actively, share insights, and contribute to productive discussions. Alongside this, I take pride in my strong work ethic. I’m passionate about what I do, reliable, and fully committed to achieving high-quality outcomes, whether working independently or as part of a team.
I have developed close to 200 business plans and financial models for founders, startups and SMEs worldwide, supporting bank financing, investor discussions, and EB-2 and E-2 visa applications. My clients come to me with an idea and leave with a plan they can actually execute.
Most founders do not need another document. They need someone who can sit with what they know, ask the right questions, and turn an incomplete idea into a clear direction with a defined market, a real competitive position, and a roadmap that holds up under scrutiny. That is the work I do.
What I deliver:
1.) Business plans and financial models, research-driven and built for a specific audience, whether that is a bank, an investor, an immigration officer or your own team
2.) Strategy First marketing plans that audit your positioning, competitors, audience and channels, then convert the findings into content themes, campaigns and an execution roadmap
3.) SEO and content strategy, including keyword and market research, service and local page planning, and content calendars
4.) Growth and expansion planning for businesses entering new markets or scaling existing operations
A few results from this work:
1.) A business plan and financial projections approved for a PHP 25 million bank credit facility, roughly US$500,000 at the time
2.) A woodworking business plan that supported a successful US$500,000 bank loan application
3.) A clean-energy business plan that advanced to the first round of government funding
4.) An expansion plan for a wallpaper company relocating operations from Canada to the United States, covering market positioning and launch strategy
Alongside this practice, I have spent nearly nine years helping build and run a US-based digital marketing agency, most recently as Head of SEO & Content, where I helped grow revenue tenfold over eight years. That side of my background means I do not hand over a strategy and disappear. I know what it takes to execute one, because I have run the teams that do.
I have used AI professionally since 2022 for research, drafting, and analysis, always with human judgment over the angle, accuracy, and voice.
I have full availability, and I am open to both project work and ongoing engagements.
If you are ready to turn your idea into something structured and fundable, send me a message and tell me what you are building.
