GET TO KNOW ME MORE
MY STORY
From high school experiments in software design and video editing to studying computer engineering in college, I’ve always been drawn to the intersection of creativity and technology. Freelancing after graduation allowed me to align with my passion.
I vividly recall spending hours experimenting with designing software, tweaking images and layouts until they were just right. Video editing became a way to breathe life into my ideas, bringing together images, sounds, and narratives to create something engaging and impactful. Coding, on the other hand, was like deciphering a secret language that allowed me to bring my creative visions to life.
In my college days
These early forays into technology were more than just hobbies; they were the seeds of a deep-rooted passion. Little did I know that my journey had only just begun, and the skills I honed during those high school days would open doors to a world of endless possibilities.
Then came college, where I studied computer engineering. I excelled in programming and got my hands on microelectronics. This was where I found my love for solving complex puzzles. Two of my significant projects during college were a fingerprint-authenticated vault and a Kiosk-based PoS with inventory and supply management. I also took on a separate project where I integrated facial recognition for taking attendance.
Upon graduation, I found myself at a crossroads. I was choosing between the path of my degree to become an engineer and the passion that I was nurturing when I was in highschool.
At a crossroad
I chose to align with my heart and ventured into freelancing. It wasn’t exactly what my degree prepared me for, but it felt like the right fit. Most of my skills had their roots in high school, after all. It was at freelancing that I would be able to merge my technical prowess with my creative passions.
BrightMinds, an agency based in the Philippines, extended an opportunity for me to join their team as a video editor. It was there that I was presented with an opportunity that would set the wheels of my freelancing journey in motion.
I eagerly embraced this role, and before long. What began as a single role soon unfolded into a journey of managing not one or two but thirteen clients concurrently. My work involved crafting captivating video intros, producing engaging social media content, and creating eye-catching ads.
But my growth didn’t stop there.
A Transformative Mentorship
My journey toward personal and professional growth was far from over. I took mentorship at SpeakerAgency. Under the guidance of esteemed mentors Clint Sisto and Ray Pang SH, I delved into the multifaceted worlds of personal development, sales, and the art of persuasive copywriting.
In this nurturing environment, I learned to cultivate my inner potential and enhance my skill set in profound ways. Personal development became more than just a concept; it was a daily practice that enabled me to maximize my strengths and address my weaknesses.
The world of sales, as taught by my mentors, unveiled new perspectives on effectively communicating with clients and understanding their needs.
This mentorship was transformative, enriching my professional journey in ways I hadn’t imagined. It wasn’t just about mastering a specific skill; it was about becoming a holistic professional, someone who could not only deliver technical work but also connect with clients on a deeper level, understand their objectives, and communicate effectively.
Fuelled by ambition, I left BrightMinds and became an independent freelancer. I joined Upwork and OnlineJobs as a Video Editor and Video Marketer. The challenges and opportunities presented here were diverse, and I was ready to embrace them with open arms.
Environment of growth
It was during this phase that a client posed a question that changed my trajectory. They inquired if I was willing to grow with them, a proposition that opened doors to a world beyond video editing.
I learned to design and develop websites, and publish blog posts. I also learned to manage projects using platforms like Trello, Asana, and ClickUp to make workflows more efficient and streamlined. An unexpected milestone presented itself when I was entrusted with the domain of Google SEO along with web design and development, thereby enriching my professional expertise.
During my time working with my client and my team, I consistently received praise for my ability to quickly and effectively tackle any task assigned to me. This aptitude is a testament to my innate curiosity and passion for continuous learning and personal growth.
This curiosity, a cornerstone of my work philosophy, meant that I was always ready to dive headfirst into uncharted territory. I wasn’t content with the status quo; I strived to go above and beyond, to push my boundaries and test my limits. It wasn’t just about getting the job done; it was about excelling in it and leaving a lasting impression.
At a crossroad
As a dedicated freelancer, I remain resolved in my commitment to excellence. My journey is an ongoing pursuit of skills refinement, perpetually open to the acquisition of new competencies. The path I have walked may be unconventional, but it serves as a testament to the power of pursuing one’s passion.
My journey continues, and I eagerly anticipate the chapters yet to be written. As I step forward into the uncharted territory of the digital realm, I do so with a sense of excitement, purpose, and the knowledge that the best is yet to come.
