I majored in linguistics from the University of the Philippines. I am a very fast learner and I am also very eager to learn. I am meticulous and efficient. I am also a fluent English speaker (I'm not going to deny that I have an accent though since I grew up in the Philippines). My typing speed ranges from 80-90 WPM.

I have worked numerous jobs over the past 7 years. My first job was as a Market Research Interviewer mainly collecting data via phone interviews, then eventually becoming a Quality Control Specialist in that same company where I monitored calls and gave feedback and coaching to agents and co-supervisors on their overall performance. I did that for about 6 years in total and now I am working as a Virtual Assistant for an installation company in the US.
