about me
During the years I was working a regular job, I kept telling myself it was the safest thing to do, but meanwhile, I wasn’t enjoying it at all and my own unhappiness started to confront me. This is why a few years ago, I decided to make some major life changes.
In a six month timespan, I got divorced, quit my office job, and moved to another country.
My plan was no plan – I needed a break and I knew I would make it work and that I was going to start my own business at some point.
Throughout my adult life, I’d already started up a few small businesses, from my first webshop at age 25 to an essential oil product I developed during the pandemic. I have always been a person of many interests, but I must say that nothing fascinates me more than life itself, being human, our psyche, what drives us, and how we all perfectly fit in this universe we are part of.
This interest got me into studying psychology at age 19. And even though life took another turn, causing me to not pursue it, I never stopped learning – I was always following some teacher, receiving coaching, reading books, attending webinars, courses, and live events that had to do with self-development and wellbeing.
After my big move, my network in the self-development community expanded and it didn’t take long before people learned about my technical skills and asked me to help them with their websites and other aspects of their online business.
Tech skills, combined with my years of experience as an office manager and a personal assistant, enabled me to start freelancing remotely as a technical virtual assistant while living in one of the most amazing spots in Europe!
While I was gaining lots of experience in setting up and running online businesses, I also got trained in digital marketing and automation by a successful creative marketing agency. This propelled my work and my business forward as I started to understand and see the bigger picture of clients’ needs.
Though I started as a technical VA, I find it hard to define myself as such nowadays. I could also call myself a Web Designer, a Digital Marketer, or a Funnel Builder – it’s all part of Elevating Your Online Presence.
For more complex and custom web solutions, I partner with a team of specialists skilled in complex technical development and more.
Today I am proud to be able to offer a wide range of digital services to suit all my clients’ needs, ranging from marketing to complex web development.
Whether you see me as a Technical Assistant, Marketeer or Web Designer, most and foremost, I consider myself an entrepreneur who is creating the life she desires to live, where work does not feel like work, while helping others to do the same.
I’ve always desired to live an autonomous life while working with people who have a similar mindset – to live a free but purposeful life, serving others by doing what we love, in our own unique ways.
