Donita Asuncion – Unit Manager, Loan Consultant

Hi, I’m Donita Asuncion, but you can call me Doni. As an only child, I’ve embraced the responsibility of caring for my grandparents. I graduated with a degree in Business Administration, specialising in Business Analytics. My journey has been deeply shaped by the challenges I faced after my father passed away, leaving my mother to struggle with finding work. To support my family, I juggled several jobs while still in school: tutoring elementary students, engaging in buying and selling, and working a graveyard shift as a customer service representative at an e-commerce company—all while managing my studies during the day.

Fortunately, I earned a full scholarship to the university of my dreams, which allowed me to move from our province to the city. This opportunity not only advanced my education but also enabled me to provide financial support for my family. I was determined to make the most of it.

My experience as a customer service representative proved invaluable. I’ve always believed in giving my best, and that mindset paid off. I was promoted from representative to subject matter expert, then to coach, and ultimately became a team leader. Each role helped me hone my skills and build my confidence, teaching me the importance of effective communication and empathy.

Throughout my journey, I’ve met countless people who have shaped who I am today. Their support and guidance have been instrumental in my growth. Currently, I work remotely and have returned to live with my grandparents, which brings me immense joy. This tranquil lifestyle allows me to appreciate life’s simple pleasures, and I couldn’t wish for anything more peaceful.

I have experience in cold calling and social media management, and I’m eager to take on more challenges. I love helping others grow their businesses. Despite the hurdles I’ve encountered, I remain optimistic. I firmly believe that with determination and hard work, anything is achievable. I’m committed to making the most of every opportunity that comes my way. My experiences have taught me resilience and the importance of community, and I cherish the bonds I’ve formed and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.

As I navigate life, I hold onto my mantra: do my best in whatever I do. It’s not just about success for me; it’s about the journey and the people I meet. I look forward to what the future holds, ready to embrace new challenges and opportunities with open arms. I’m also excited to share my story with others to help them recognise the opportunities that come with remote work, all while prioritising what matters most in life.
